    The answer would be B., brackets. Brackets can be used to insert explanatory information into quotations. For example, if you write "She wrote the book," but you want your audience to know who "she" is, you insert brackets. Your new sentence would look like "[J. K. Rowling] wrote the book." Brackets are also used to clarify parentheses within parentheses. Consider you have the following quotation: "The author (J. K. Rowling, who wrote the books) is writing a new book." This can be changed to specify which books she wrote in the following sentence: "The author (J. K. Rowling, who wrote [Harry Potter]) is writing a new book."
