Answer 1

A is possible if there is something quoted on the last page
B is certain
C is certain
D is correct unless the author or source's name is freakishly long (Kidding, D is right)
E is not possible since, for example, when citing a website, the URL is not included
F is not possible because, overall, a parenthetical citation is an abbreviation or a prelude to the works cited page.
