To cite a source of information means to
a. state the information in your own words.
b. copy the information word for word.
c. name it as the source of information.
d. give your opinion about the information.

C. Name it as the source of information

Explanation:

Citing is a very important issue in the academic world because it is the cure of plagiarism. Just like someone can steal your money, when someone writes an essay and includes ideas that are not his without acknowledging , he is stealing someone's publishing words. As a result this is a crime and it is punishable in universities.

When you acknowledge a source of information you must include, the name of the author, the year of publication, the editorial house, among other elements. Moreover, if you include a quotation, you must include the page number.

OPTION A = it's wrong because even when you state the information in your own words, you should cite the source, because the idea is not yours, even if you write it in your own words.

OPTION B = it's wrong because this is a clear instance of plariagism.

OPTION D = it's wrong because this is not a way of citing information.
