Verified Answer :

CTo make cited writers feel important



All the other choices are correct. Academic citations would
give due credit to other people, enable readers to trace the logic of the
argument in the research and also provide researchers with important sources.
It is not done to make the cited writers feel important.  It is necessary to give importance to the intellectual
property of other researchers whether the research will be published or not. Research
is a tough job to do but citations do not exactly entail fame or fortune to the
researcher.
