One of the rules in proper parenthetical citation says that when the author of the source is given, it should be written using the author's name and page number. But if without the author's name, the title of the book or article is used as a subsitute, following the page number. Since the name of the author has been mentioned, the correct answer would be, letter A. (Simpson 91)
