Explanation

A footnote should begin with its number, followed by a space and a complete sentence that starts with a capital letter and ends with a period. Choice C follows that format: “For a detailed account…” is a complete sentence, and the citation is included at the end. Choice B begins with a lowercase word and is not a complete sentence, while A and D are missing punctuation after the footnote number.
