D)

Answer 1

The correct citation in APA style would follow the format of listing the authors' last names first, followed by their first initials, the title in italics, the publisher, and the year. However, based on the options you've provided, the most accurate format while considering common citation styles would be:

A) Piven, Joshua and David Borgenicht. The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook. Chronicle, 1999.

This option correctly lists the authors followed by the title and publication details. However, for clarity, it would be better formatted as:

Piven, J., & Borgenicht, D. (1999). The worst-case scenario survival handbook. Chronicle Books.

But given the options, A is the closest in style to proper citation convention.
