Explanation:

The second option correctly incorporates source material as it includes the author (Anne Frank), the title of the source ($The\ Diary\ of\ a\ Young\ Girl$), the quote, and the page - number citation. The first option has no source citation. The third option lacks the author and page - number. The fourth option is too wordy and less stylistically appropriate for essay incorporation.

Answer:

B. In her famous journal, $The\ Diary\ of\ a\ Young\ Girl$, Anne Frank expresses how seeking what is beautiful in life can soothe you when it feels that all is lost: “I've found that there is always some beauty left - in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself; these can all help you” (542).
