    The best option that revises the use of correct in-text citation according to MLA standards is C) "Baseball historian Danial O'Day believes that Martin Reginald is "the greatest third baseman to ever play for Louisiana Technical College" (199)."

    According to MLA rules in-text citation must have the author-page format. This can be done by mentioning the author's name within the sentence and then by adding the page number in parenthesis after the quotation.

    Option A) is incorrect as it does not mention the author name within the sentence or in parenthesis; it just mentions the page number.

    Option B) is incorrect since the page number in parenthesis is right after the author's name and the page number should be after the quotation.

    Option D) is incorrect because it has an author-year-page format and the correct one is author-page. The year of publication must not be mentioned in the in-text citation.
