The best way to avoid plagiarism is to?

  1. Cite your sources properly

  2. Paraphrase as much as possible

  3. Copy large portions of text

  4. Use sources sparingly

The correct answer is: Cite your sources properly

C is obviously incorrect because copying large portions of text is considered plagiarism. Choices B and D may help in avoiding plagiarism but they are not the best way to do so. Paraphrasing as much as possible may still lead to unintentional plagiarism while using sources sparingly may limit the amount of information and knowledge being included in the work. Citing sources properly is the best way to avoid plagiarism as it gives credit to the original source and acknowledges the use of their ideas or information.
