Which of the following, if included in a student's paper, would not be an example of plagiarism?
-in the game of baseball, which is rather boring, the batter stands on home base (hughes 1).

i believe its d but i just wanna check.

The correct answer is actually B. 

The reasoning behind this is because choice A and choice C both give credit at the end/citing their sources.

Plagiarism 

                 Plagiarism is using someone else's work without giving proper credit. Schools deal with plagiarism by giving the cheaters academic consequences. Most teachers will fail you for plagiarizing work.

                 Your teacher may not be able to take you to court over it, but they can certainly fail you. There is also a possibility that you might even get suspended or expelled from school if you do this repeatedly. 

Copyright Infringement 

                Copyright infringement is using someone else's work without getting the owners permission. The author of any original work, including books, essays, Web pages, songs, pictures, and videos, automatically gets the copyright to that work, even if he/she doesn't label it with the copyright symbol and their name. They have created it.

                The owner of a copyright gets to decide who can legally make copies of their work. It is illegal to copy large sections of someone work without their permission, even if you give the original author some credit. Imagine someone making copies of the movie "The Jungle Book" without asking for permission. They sure won't get away with it just by giving the authors credit.

The correct answer to this question would be (b).
