d. hernandez, l. \flight.\ illustration. the artist’s page. artists unlimited, 12 december 2010. web. 15 may 2012.

Explanation:

A citation typically includes details like the author, title, source, and publication information to give credit to a referenced work. Option D has the author (Hernandez, L.), title ("Flight"), type (Illustration), source (The Artist’s Page, Artists Unlimited), publication date (12 December 2010), and access date (15 May 2012), which fits the structure of a citation. Options A, B, and C are just statements or descriptions without such reference details.

Answer:

D. Hernandez, L. "Flight." Illustration. The Artist’s Page. Artists Unlimited, 12 December 2010. Web. 15 May 2012.
