Answer
# Brief Explanations:
In MLA in - text citation, if the author's name is mentioned in the sentence, only the last name of the author and the page number are included in parentheses. Option C follows this format correctly as it has the last - name "Maynard" and the page number "28" in parentheses after the information being cited. Option A has the full first and last name in the citation which is not necessary when the author's name is already in the sentence. Option B has an incorrect format with the title of the source included in the in - text citation in an improper way. Option D uses the initial "S." instead of the full last name which is not the best practice in MLA citation when the author's name is already mentioned in the sentence.
# Answer:
C. Instead, Martinez outlined the updated requirements for planethood status and explained each in great scientific detail (Maynard 28).
