Solution

a. Yes, you have plagiarised.

Even if you have cited the source, using someone else's work word for word without using quotation marks is considered plagiarism. It gives the impression that the words are your own when they are not. To avoid this, you should either paraphrase the information (and still cite the source) or use direct quotes with quotation marks.
