Which footnote is formatted correctly?

Answer

2Garrow 403–04 tells readers how King knew at the start of the second attempt that he would cut the march short, but did not inform most of the marchers or even all of the leaders of his plan, which led many in the movement to briefly criticize King.

2. see Garrow 403–04 for criticisms of King for cutting the march short

2. For a detailed account of the criticisms King faced for ending the march, see Garrow 403–04.

2For an account of the criticisms King faced for cutting the march short and not sharing his plan with others in the movement, see Garrow, 403–04.

Explanation

A properly formatted footnote begins with its note number followed by a period, then a complete, clearly worded sentence. Choice C follows that format and gives a concise citation: “2. For a detailed account … see Garrow 403–04.” The other choices omit or misplace the period after the note number, or use an incomplete sentence.
