Explanation:

Identify citation type and requirements

Using the Chicago Style Citations and Chicago Style Formatting knowledge points, we need to format a footnote citation for a chapter in an edited anthology. The standard Chicago footnote format for a book chapter is:
Author Firstname Lastname, "Chapter Title," in Book Title, ed. Editor Firstname Lastname (Publisher Location: Publisher Name, Year), Page Range.

Evaluate the options based on footnote rules

Using the Footnote Formatting knowledge point, we analyze the choices:

• Option 1: Uses "Firstname Lastname" but misses the editor, the word "in" before the book title, uses parentheses incorrectly, and has the wrong year (2015 instead of 2025).
• Option 2: Inverts the author's name ("Baker, Karla"), which is used for bibliographies, not footnotes.
• Option 3: Correctly uses "Firstname Lastname" (Karla Baker), includes "in" before the italicized book title, includes "ed. Samuel Rafoth", places publication details in parentheses "(New York: New York University, 2015)" (note: the image options show 2015 instead of 2025, but Option 3 matches the structural rules perfectly), and ends with the page range "26-43."
• Option 4: Inverts the author's name and uses parenthetical year placement typical of APA style.

Thus, Option 3 is the correct Chicago style footnote citation.
