Answer:

D is not plagiarism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plagiarism is when you essentially steal someone else's work without giving them credit.

A: Using a source and not listing in a work cited page. Because you aren't giving the writer/author credit, this can be considered plagiarism.

B: Using a quote without an in-text citation. This is also plagiarism because you are not citing the source/author you got this quote from.

C: Using information without putting it in our own words. If you WERE to put it in your own words, you do not need to cite your source (unless your teacher wants you to). However, if you do not put it in your own words, this is plagiarism.

D: Using information from an out-of-date source. While this might not be the best source to get your information from, it's technically not plagiarism because you aren't copying someone else's work.
