Then, identify the single option among the four alternatives (a, b, c, d) that is an EXACT AND COMPLETE REPLICATION of the Reference Statement.

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Reference Statement:
Sarajevo; 28 Jun. 1914.
Compare with each option:
1) Sarajevo; 28 Jun. 1914.
This matches exactly — Every character, including the semicolon (;), the period after Jun (.), the space, and the year, is identical to the reference.
2) Sarajevo; 28 Jun 1914.
Error: Missing the period (.) after 'Jun'.
3) Sarajevo; 28 Jun. 1941.
Error: The year is incorrect ('1941' instead of '1914').
4) Saraje_vo; 28 Jun. 1914.
Error: Contains an unnecessary underscore (_) in the middle of the word 'Sarajevo'.
Hence, the correct answer is option (1).
