Explanation
In MLA style, a parenthetical citation goes after the closing quotation mark and before the sentence’s final period. Use the author’s last name and page number when the author is not named in the sentence, as in B; when the sentence already names Keller, include only the page number, as in D. The period belongs after the citation, not inside the quotation marks.
