Answer:

it is A. when paraphrasing

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to not only cite the source, but also to restate the author's description in your own words. ... The Bedford Handbook (Hacker 503) suggests reading the part of the work you want to summarize or paraphrase, and then looking away as you write it in your own words to help prevent copying it too closely.
