"You must use quotation marks to indicate the evidence."

indirect quotes don't have quotation marks ...

direct quotes do.

A is wrong.

"You must use an internal citation to indicate the source."

with everything you get your source from, always use internal citation, even if it's a direct or indirect quote. B is correct.

"You must use the exact words even with any of its errors."

this only applies for direct quote, not indirect quotation. C is incorrect.

"You must use a capital letter at the beginning of the quote."

only for direct quotes, because that's a q-u-o-t-e. indirect quotes are your words, and at every sentence you start a new capital letter so D is incorrect.
