Short quotations, under MLA style, must be enclosed in double quotation marks; and the author along with the specific page of the citation must be placed in parenthesis.

The right option is D, because it has the author and the specific page citation.

Answer:

D. “In truth, the forest elephant may soon become extinct” (Mackler 91).

Explanation:

The MLA citation style uses the last name of the author and then the page from where the reference is taken, this when the author has not been mention in the text, also if you are using two authors it should be (Mackler 91; Thomas 120) and if the reference is for two locations it should be (Mackler 82, 91). In this case this is most accurate option.
