Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
A direct quotation requires quotation marks to indicate the exact words of the speaker or writer, while an indirect quotation rephrases the original statement without using the speaker's exact words, thus not requiring quotation marks. However, both direct and indirect quotations require attribution to the original speaker or writer, including a reference to the source, to maintain credibility and avoid plagiarism.
