Answer 1

Hello, the correct answer would be D. When you are quoting something, of course, that sentence needs to be separated by quotation marks, and the comma needs to be inside the quote, so first comma, then close the quote. After that continue with the narration, put a comma, open quotation mark, write your quote, put a full stop, and close the quotation mark.
