Explanation:

Oral citation is a verbal means of acknowledging an information source. Key factors must be included in oral citations. They include the name of the author, title of the work being referenced, as well as the date in which the work was published.

According to the Center for Writing and Speaking, books can be quoted by citing the title and author, while articles can be cited by including title and date.

Option d includes key requirements for citing a book but the introduction is not the best. Option a provides a better introduction.
