Explanation:

To determine the correct periodical citation, we follow standard citation format (e.g., MLA or similar), which typically includes: Author, "Article Title," Periodical Title Date: Page(s). Print.

• First option: Incorrect order (includes "Print" and "New York Times" in wrong place).
• Second option: Incorrectly places the periodical title before the article title.
• Third option: Reverses author and article title order.
• Fourth option: Follows the correct order: Author (Cowell, Alan), "Article Title" ("Mandela: Man, Legend and Symbol of Resistance"), Periodical Title (New York Times), Date (5 Sept. 1985), Page (A14), and Print.
