Explanation:

Correct academic citation for a direct quote requires matching punctuation: the closing quotation mark comes before the parenthetical citation, and a period follows the citation. Option A incorrectly places the closing quote after the citation. Option B omits a signal phrase and proper terminal punctuation. Option D misplaces the speaker tag and repeats the author's name in the citation unnecessarily. Option C uses a clear signal phrase, places the closing quote correctly before the parenthetical page citation, and ends with a proper period after the citation.

Answer:

C. Herb Rawson states, "Democracy depends on an educated public." (54)
