the careful citation of ideas taken directly from an outside source

Explanation

Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work or ideas as your own without proper acknowledgment. Choice A best matches this definition. Restating another person’s work in your own words is not necessarily plagiarism if you clearly cite the source, and choices C and D describe proper citation rather than plagiarism.
