Explanation

A book citation in MLA style begins with the author’s name, followed by the book title and publication details. Choice B has that order and leaves the book title unquoted; book titles should be italicized in a fully formatted citation. Choice A puts quotation marks around the title, while C and D place the author and title in the wrong order.
