Answer:

D. is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To correctly punctuate each of the lines, this is how you would need to write them (I have bolded all of the corrected/added characters):

A. "Where are you going," Mom asked, "and how long will you be gone?"

B. They said, "We haven't been outside yet."

C. "What are you doing?" she asked me.
