Yea the last option make more sense than the rest of those

If you don't know the author in an in-text citation you should list a shortened version of the source title instead of the author.

What to do incase the author is unknown in an in-text citation?

  • In parenthetical citations, this structure includes the author’s last name and the publication year (with a comma separating them) in parentheses.
  • In narrative citations, the author’s last name is incorporated into the sentence.
  • This formatting applies if your source has one author or if you are citing a source with multiple authors in APA.
  • If a reference has an unknown author, the title of the work substitutes as the author name in the in-text citation.
  • The title should have each significant word capitalized (basically sentence case).
  • If the source is not italicized in the reference list entry, place the title in quotation marks (“ ”) in the in-text citation.
  • This means it is part of a larger work (like when citing a journal article from a journal in APA).
  • If the source title is italicized in the reference list entry, italicize the title in the in-text citation (example: books when cited in APA).
