Explanation

An MLA citation for a magazine article begins with the author’s last name, followed by the first name, then the article title in quotation marks. The magazine title is italicized, followed by the date, page numbers, and—when included—the medium. Choice C follows that order: O’Neil, Ryan; the article title; Finance Weekly; 1 August 2009; pages 33–35; and Print.
