Solution

You should cite a source whenever you use any information from that source. So, the correct answer is option d. This includes not only direct quotes, but also when you paraphrase or summarize information from a source, or when you use facts, statistics, or other information that is not common knowledge. Citing sources is important to give credit to the original authors and to allow readers to find the original source if they wish to learn more.
