Answer:

"The daylight is coming(,)" Dave said(.) "We should go now(.)"

Step-by-step explanation:

In my case, it is option (a) on my test.

Answer:

"The daylight is coming," Dave said. "We should go now."

Step-by-step explanation:

In the second option, the phrase "The daylight is coming" is lacking quotation marks. The third option is chaotic because it has no punctuation whatsoever. Finally, the fourth option is nearly perfect, but the comma after said should be a period because "We should go now" is independent from "The daylight is coming."
