Let us know what you decide.

(Actually, none of them -- because you aren't putting a space after each comma, period, etc.)

Thank you.

Did you get it? What did you decide?

The citation that uses proper MLA style is option C. Smith, Paul. "The Night on the River." New York: Penguin, 1987. Print.

To create a proper MLA citation, you need to follow a specific format:

1. Start with the author's last name, followed by a comma and the author's first name.

2. If the source has a title, enclose it in quotation marks. Capitalize the first and last words of the title and any other important words. Do not italicize or underline the title.

3. Specify the publication information, beginning with the name of the city where the source was published, followed by a colon. Then, include the name of the publisher, separated by a comma, and the year of publication.

4. Indicate the medium of the source (print, in this case).

In this case, option C is the correct choice because it follows this format properly. The author's name is correctly formatted, the title is enclosed in quotation marks, the publication information is included with the city, publisher, and year, and the medium is specified as "print." Remember, in MLA style, book titles are generally italicized, but in a works cited page, you should put them in quotation marks.
