Answer:

A is the answer because when citing information for your reasearch papers you are not just making your papers interesting but you are also giving credit to the people who supplied the source. It would be considered plagirasim if not giving credit since its basically showing to the readers that you are claiming other peoples work as yours.

Hope this helps! let me know
