Answer:

D).  “If still you think me mad, you will think so no longer when I describe the wise precautions I took for the concealment of the body.” (Poe 4)

Explanation:

The reason why answer choice "D).  'If still you think me mad, you will think so no longer when I describe the wise precautions I took for the concealment of the body.' (Poe 4)" would be the correct answer because this is how you properly cite a book with the format of a parenthetical citation.

In a parenthetical citation, the format is (author's last name and page number).

You wouldn't put the title of the book, due to the fact that people would have a hard time trying to find where the quote specifically is in the book, especially when people are checking to see if you plagiarized.

The page number wouldn't go before the last name, due to the fact that they want o see who you're getting the quote from first.

You would always use the author's last name, in this case, the author's last name is Poe.

Since the quote came from page 4, we would include the page number (4) in our citation.

This means that our parenthetical citation should be (Poe 4).

I hope this helped you out.

Good luck on your academics.

Have a fantastic day!
