Explanation:

To determine non - plagiarism, we check if the option properly attributes the quote and uses it accurately. The first option (the one starting with "Don't be surprised...") includes the quote with correct citation (Angelou, 1997). The second option misrepresents the quote's context and wording. The third option adds irrelevant content ("with excuses...") and misuses the quote. The fourth option, "Maya Angelou (1997) observed that as people say and do things that show you who they are. you should believe that evidence." misinterprets the original quote which is about believing people when they show who they are, not about evidence from what they say and do. The correct non - plagiarizing option is the first one as it correctly quotes, attributes, and integrates the quote.

Answer:

The first option (the one with text: "Don't be surprised when someone you've watched hurting others, hurts you. Remember, 'when people show you who they are, believe them,' (Angelou, 1997).")
