The correct punctuation of a quote looks like this:

"What the quote says." (Author, page number)

Make sure there's quotation marks, a period/exclamation mark/question mark, parentheses around the author's name and page/article number. They get easier to spot over time, so keep trying!

(Psst, in this case the answer would be C!)
