Weber suggests that parents want their children to have cell phones due to their involvement in after-school activities, such as athletics. (Weber, 2007)

Explanation

In MLA style, a parenthetical citation for a book gives the author’s last name and page number, with no comma or publication year. Since Weber is already named in the sentence, the citation needs only the page number: “(7).” The period goes after the closing parenthesis, making choice B correct.
