The method described is a characteristic of MLA style, which uses in-text citations in parentheses instead of footnotes or endnotes. Option A (research) is too general and does not specifically refer to this citation style. Option C (Works Cited list) is a part of MLA style, but it is not the method of putting source information in the body of the essay.
