In MLA style, a parenthetical citation gives the author’s last name and page number when the author has not already been named, and the sentence-ending period goes after the citation. That makes A correct: “Homer 503” follows the quotation, with the period after the parentheses. In D, Homer is named in the sentence, so only the page number, “503,” is needed in the citation. B puts the period inside the quotation before the citation, C places the name and page number incorrectly, and E repeats the author’s name unnecessarily.
