How to cite APA style for edited books?
option B is correct. I looked up in APA manual. your exact example is found in sect 4.16 under "elements of a reference to an article or chpater in an edited book"





My APA manual is 5th edition. Good luck with your paper!

I actually use this more than my APA manual. I have a degree in psychology and each time I had to cite I used this website. Good Luck
