Explanation:

To determine the proper APA - style in - text citation with an attributive phrase, we recall APA rules: When using an attributive phrase (mentioning the author, Ingraham, in the sentence), the year of publication should be placed immediately after the author's name.

• For the second option, the year (2017) is placed at the end of the sentence, which is incorrect as it should follow the author's name when there is an attributive phrase.
• For the third option, the year (2017) is incorrectly placed before the article title, which does not follow APA style.
• For the fourth option, including the page number (p. 12) is not necessary here as the question is about the basic in - text citation with an attributive phrase and no specific need for a page number.
• The first option correctly places the year (2017) after the author's name (Ingraham) when using the attributive phrase.

Answer:

A. In his article “Legal Marijuana is Saving Lives in Colorado, Study Finds,” Ingraham (2017) describes new research showing a clear decline in opioid deaths after the state legalized recreational marijuana.
