what is the correct mla format for a parenthetical citation of this article?
nash, jan. ferret frenzy: their growing popularity as pets. pet weekly
news, vol. 14, no. 3, 20 nov. 2015, p. 17.

a. (jan nash, p. 17)

b. (ferret frenzy: their growing popularity as pets)

c. (nash 17)

d. (ferret frenzy: their growing popularity as pets, page 17.)

Explanation:

In MLA parenthetical citation, the standard format is the author's last name and the page number (no "p." or "page"). Option A includes the first name and "p.", Option B uses the article title (not standard for parenthetical), Option D is too detailed with title and "page". So (Nash 17) follows MLA rules.

Answer:

C. (Nash 17)
