Explanation:

A footnote is a short text placed at the end of some pages and that provides further information or explanations about concepts, sections or sources that appear in the paragraphs that are before the footnote. In academical writing footnotes allow the author to provide extra information without including it in the main text, which would distract the reader from the main ideas of the text, also, these should be not used excessively in any case.

In terms of format, it is recommended using Arabic numbers (1,2,3,4...) to enumerate the footnotes, followed by a short description of the information the reader can find and after this the author and page numbers. Considering this, the footnote that is formatted correctly is "2. For a detailed account of the criticisms King faced for ending the march, see Garrow 403–04" because this footnote provides a short description of the information the reader can find, without including unnecessary details and then the information related to the author and page numbers, which is the most recommended format.
