The answer is A: Some worry about a cyber threat to American security, "that organizations or individuals may be spying on, tampering with, or preparing to inflict damage on America's electronic networks" (Fallows, "Cyber" 60).

Explanation:

  • Option A is correct because it follows the MLA (2016) style for in-text citations when citing one of two works by the same author. In this case, the author's last name, Fallows, is included along with a shortened version of the title, "Cyber," and the page number, 60. This helps distinguish between the two works by the same author in the list of works cited.

  • Option B is incorrect because it omits the author's last name, which is necessary when citing one of multiple works by the same author. The inclusion of only the shortened title and page number does not provide enough information to clearly identify the source.
