Answer:

c. "Never had the conditions for a president-elect been so severe, and never had one seemed, by his credentials, so poorly prepared" (Shenk, 2005, p. 172).

Explanation:

The American Psychological Association (APA) style is one form or style of writing papers, research, or academic papers. It involves a certain format of writing or citing sources that academicians can use in a correctly written paper.

In this APA style of citing sources, the correct form among the options given is option c. This is because, in cases of direct quotations, the last name of the author along with the year of publication and page numbers must be added in parenthesis (if the author's name is not included in the text).

Thus, the correct answer is option c.
