The fourth sentence:
Benjamin Franklin's newspaper was instrumental in making political cartoons popular during the 1700s (White, 2010).

Reason: APA in-text citations use the author's last name and year. A page number is added only for a direct quote (and then formatted as p. 16). The other options either use the author's first name, omit the year, or use incorrect "pg." formatting.
