Further explanation:

Punctuation marks are the symbols and signs which are used in the written form of the sentences. They help in adding sense and meaning to the sentence. Punctuation marks help the reader to understand the written language as the way it would have been spoken. The pauses are added to the sentence with the use of the punctuation marks. They add tone and meaning in the written sentences to mean the same as they have been said. Some of the most used punctuation marks are a full stop, comma, question mark, exclamation marks, a hyphen, dash, colon, inverted commas, and brackets. In the given sentence the correct use of the inverted commas is in the sentence (A). All the other sentences incorrectly use punctuation. In the case of direct speech, the sentence spoken by the individual should be enclosed in the inverted commas. The punctuation contained at the end of the quotation should be enclosed under the inverted commas. In the sentence (A) the question mark of the direct speech has been enclosed under the inverted commas. Inverted commas are always used in pairs. They are used at the beginning of the speech and at the end of the speech in pair.
