Answer:

B. for your report?"

Step-by-step explanation:

Punctuation, whether a period, exclamation mark, or question mark, should always be inside of the quotation marks. Since the question ends after the word report, we should end the quote with a question mark followed by a quotation mark to note the end of the quoted statement.

The sentence should read as the following:

"Have you chosen the topic for your report?" Darryl asked.

The correct answer is B. for your report?"

This would make the whole sentence read as the following:

"Have you chosen the topic for your report?" Darryl asked.

Hope this helps! :)
