Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Do you have the time is a question

That means it cant be C or D

A puts a comma which isn't needed

So B is left

Answer:

"Do you have the time?" she asked.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the sentence given, the question mark is part of the quotation, so it goes within quotation marks. Besides, it is not necessary use a comma to separate the quote from its adjacent tag mentioning who said the quote. Usually, when a quotation ends with an exclamation or question mark, such punctuation marks replace the comma.
