Explanation:

Identify citation requirements

Using the Footnote vs Bibliography knowledge point, we distinguish between footnote and bibliography formats. A bibliography entry does not include specific page numbers, lists the author's last name first, and uses periods to separate major elements.

Analyze Chicago Style rules

Using the Chicago Style Citations knowledge point, the standard bibliography format for a single-author book is:
Last Name, First Name. Title of Book: Subtitle of Book. Place of Publication: Publisher, Year.

Evaluate the given options

• Option 1: Uses "First Name Last Name" format, parentheses for publication details, and includes a page number. This is a footnote style.
• Option 2: Uses "Last Name, First Name." format, italicizes the book title, separates elements with periods, and lists publication details as "Location: Publisher, Year." without page numbers. This matches the standard bibliography format.
• Option 3: Uses "First Name Last Name", quotation marks for the book title, and includes a page number. This is incorrect.
• Option 4: Places the year in parentheses after the author's name and omits the publication year at the end, which is not standard Chicago bibliography style.
