Verified Answer :

D is correct, you included the page number at the end and you don't t need to include her name in the citation because it is already stated

The correct answer is D: According to fish biologist Sarah Myers, a single carp can spawn over a million babies (145).


Generally speaking, the correct MLA in-text citation for a book with one author is the author's last name and the page number (Myers 145).


However, because the author is named in the sentence, only the page number needs to appear in the citation. For that reason, answer D is correct.
