Answer
A
“Most teenagers consume too much sodium due to the prevalence of sodium in pre-packaged foods available in schools” (“Eating Healthy and You”).
B
“Most teenagers consume too much sodium due to the prevalence of sodium in pre-packaged foods available in schools” (Hernandez).
C
“Most teenagers consume too much sodium due to the prevalence of sodium in pre-packaged foods available in schools” (Hernandez 65).
D
“Most teenagers consume too much sodium due to the prevalence of sodium in pre-packaged foods available in schools” (“Eating Healthy and You” 65).
Explanation
MLA in-text citations for a source with a known author use the author’s last name and the page number, with no comma: (Hernandez 65). The article’s title is not needed because the author is listed. Therefore, the correct choice is the quotation followed by “(Hernandez 65).”
