Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

In her last article, Cynthia Eaton stated: "I could not believe it when my producer announced, 'It's going to be another all-nighter!'" It is correct to enclose the primary speaker's comments in double quotation marks, and then enclose the words he is quoting in single quotation marks. Nest them, with the double quotation marks on the outside and the single quotation marks on the inside.
