Respuesta :

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Re-using of own previous class works or assignment without proper citation is known as self-plagiarism.

So, as per the given scenario, if one would not cite yourself, then he/she is committing self-plagiarism.

When one is using some sections from previous papers of one own's work, even if it is not published, he/she needs to consider himself/herself as an author of that paper and included proper citations of self-work to avoid self-plagiarism.

The guidelines of self-citation can be found in APA citation format or can be inquired of the teacher how to cite yourself.

Thus the correct option is B.
