Explanation:

When writing any academic paper, citing of sources is a given, and also a necessity to provide proofs and maybe even validation of sources. Direct quotations are when the quoted words are directly taken from the source without any change in reporting. They are mentioned as it is, original.

And quotation of words are also fine, as they add to the validity of the written paper. but too many direct quotations will lead to the paper becoming more of a 'playground' for quoted texts rather than contain the actual research words of the writer. Also, it would make the focus of the topic blurred, with the many quotations leading to many topics and too many diversity in the paper.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
