Hello.

The correct answer is: B. "Man, your hair is just wild!" Shondra said as she passed me in the hall.

A is not correct because there is a coma after a sentence.

Have a nice day

Answer: The option that uses correct punctuation is B. "Man, your hair is just wild!" Shondra said as she passed me in the hall.

Step-by-step explanation: Punctuation rules state that, when a sentence begins with a direct quotation, a comma should always be placed before the final quotation mark unless the direct quotation ends with a question or an exclamation mark. As the direct quotation that is part of the sentence provided ends with an exclamation mark (!), no comma should be placed before the final quotation mark. In that way, the option that uses correct punctuation is B. "Man, your hair is just wild!" Shondra said as she passed me in the hall.
