The correct answer is D. A thesis statement composed from personal views
Explanation:
Citation formatting refers to the elements of a citation should be organized and presented in papers, including research papers, in this way, if the author is using the work of someone else it is necessary to acknowledge certain ideas or words do not belong to the author and also, it is required to inform the reader where do that ideas come from. Due to this citation formatting implies writing the last name of the author and year of publication of the resource from which the person is taking ideas or words during in-text citation and creating a list of reference with further information of the sources that were used. Considering citation formatting is used when someone uses the ideas or words of another person, a thesis statement composed from personal views does not need citation formatting because this only uses the personal views, but not the ideas, works or words of someone else.
