    Correct option is C

    The standard format for citing a book as per the requirements of the MLA Handbook Eighth Edition is as follows:
    Last name, First name. Title of the Book in italics. Name of the Publishing House, Year of publication. For example:
    Smith, John. The Catcher in the Rye. Little, Brown and Company, 2023.
    This format should be used for all book citations in MLA style, regardless of the type of book (e.g., novel, nonfiction, textbook).
    Here are some additional tips for citing books in MLA style:
     If the book has more than one author, list the authors in the order they appear on the title page.
     If the book is edited by someone, list the editor's name after the title of the book, preceded by the abbreviation "ed."
     If the book is a translation, list the translator's name after the title of the book, preceded by the abbreviation "trans."
     If the book is a republication, list the original year of publication in parentheses after the year of the republication.
     If the book is published by a university press, list the city where the university is located before the name of the press.
