Underlined. Many people make the mistake of presenting the answers, "underlining" and "italicizing" as if the correct answer is one or the other of those two choices. Actually, underlining OR italicizing, for example, movie titles are BOTH acceptable. Before the age of word processors and computers when all writing was done by hand, it was impossible to italicize anything. As such, the former standard for things now routinely italicized was to underline them. Although now somewhat antiquated, it is still acceptable to underline something that otherwise would be italicized in almost every situation. So, the answer to the question should be; "underline" OR "italicize", with the other possible answer (incorrect to use in this scenario) being to put quotation marks around it.

Generally, works that can stand alone (novels, plays, movie titles) are italicized or underlined.

Shorter pieces (TV show episodes, poems, etc) are where one would use quotation marks.
