Good choice. A concise explanation you can use:
This revision (C) is best because it names the source and embeds specific, relevant evidence from it, increasing both credibility and clarity. By citing “Source 2” and summarizing that lunar soil can yield oxygen, metals, and other needed materials, the sentence supports the claim with concrete details while keeping the phrasing integrated and concise. In contrast, versions that omit a source make the claim unsupported, and versions that use a long direct quotation interrupt the flow and weaken the sentence’s clarity.
