Explanation

A periodical article citation lists the author first, followed by the article title in quotation marks, the newspaper title, the publication date, the page number, and the medium. Choice B follows that order: Cowell, the article title, New York Times, the date and page, then Print. The other choices put the newspaper or author in the wrong position, or place the newspaper title after the medium.
