Explanation:

When citing a source within an essay, if the author's name is mentioned in the text (like "According to Maryanski"), the in - text citation should include the author's name and the title of the work (if it's a short title or a title that is not overly long). The first option correctly mentions the author "Maryanski" and the title of the work "Genetically Engineered Foods". The second option only has the author's name without the title (which is important for more context if there are multiple works by the same author). The third option has the title but no author's name. The fourth option has the author's name but the placement of the title is incorrect (it should be in quotes as a title within the text if it's a short title or in a proper citation format).

Answer:

According to Maryanski, “these products must be as safe as the traditional foods in the market” (“Genetically Engineered Foods”).
