Explanation

A properly formatted footnote begins with a superscript note number, followed by a capitalized sentence and a complete citation. Choice C follows that format and gives a clear explanation of what the source supports. Choice B begins with a lowercase word, while A and D omit the period after the note number; D also uses an unnecessary comma between the author’s name and page numbers.
