Cite means to

• A. To use information or exact words from another source; to quote
• B. To use as an example
• C. To remove ambiguity
• D. To think clearly

Answer: (A)

Cite means to reference a source or quote information from another source. In writing, to cite is to give credit to the original author and show where the information or exact wording came from. This often involves using quotation marks for exact words and providing a citation, or paraphrasing the idea and still noting the source. The idea is specifically about sourcing content from others, not merely using something as an example, clarifying something, or thinking clearly. So the option that describes using information or exact words from another source; to quote, is the best fit.
