Explanation:

In MLA style, the correct website citation format is: Author (or organization) name, "Title of the page or site," Publisher (if different from author), Year of publication, Medium (e.g., Web), Date of access. Let's analyze each option:

• First option: The order is incorrect (title first, then date, access date, then author/organization).
• Second option: The order is wrong (author/organization with date first, then title, then access date without year).
• Third option: Follows the MLA format: Title of the site (CareerOneStop), Author/organization (US Department of Labor and the State of Minnesota), Year (2013), Medium (Web), Date of access (18 May 2013).
• Fourth option: The author/organization is first, then title, then medium and access date, but the title should be in quotes and the order of elements is slightly off in terms of standard MLA website citation (usually title, author, year, medium, access date).

Answer:

CareerOneStop. US Department of Labor and the State of Minnesota, 2013. Web. 18 May 2013.
