These sources should only be cited in the bibliography, not during the speech.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is c. "The National Breast Cancer Foundation in 2004 stated..."

Explanation:

In order to honor the source of information and not falling into the risk of plagiarism, it is important to cite sources both in writing and in oral presentation, like speech.

For proper oral citation it is necessary to state the name of the author or, in this case, institution (The National Breast Cancer Foundation) and the date of publication (2004). If the source also has a title or other authors credentials, they should be mentioned in the speech as well.
