The Modern Language Association format for a bibliography is quite easy to outline:

1.- Name of the Author,  Author names start with the last name, then a comma is added, and then the author’s first name.

2.- Titles and Containers. The titles are written as they are found on the source, and in title form, meaning the important words start with a capital.

3.-Location. The location generally refers to the place where the worked was published.

4.-Publishers. In MLA format citing, it is important to include the name of the publisher (the organization that created or published the source), so that readers can locate the exact source themselves.

5.-Publication dates. Publication dates are extremely important to include in citations. They allow the reader to understand when sources were published. They are also used when readers are attempting to locate the source themselves.

6.- The means of publishing. If the work is a printed or an internet publication, etc.

Having said this, the only thing we need to do is to follow the steps and the only possible answer is:

C. Oglesby, Merlin. Pugnacious Hummers See Red: How to Attract Hummingbirds. Minneapolis: Backyard Books, 2011. Print.
