Rule 801(d) is a provision of the Federal Rules of Evidence; select its citation.

The key idea here is knowing how the Federal Rules are cited. Federal Rules of Evidence are written as “Fed. R. Evid.” followed by the rule number. Rule 801 deals with statements that are not hearsay, and the subdivision (d) lists specific types of non-hearsay statements (such as party-admissions and certain prior statements). So the proper citation for this rule is Fed. R. Evid. 801(d). The other options come from different sources—Fed. Civ. P. 56(e) is a Civil Procedure rule about summary judgment, Virginia’s state statute, and the Internal Revenue Code is tax law. None of those are the Federal Rules of Evidence citation.
