Answer:

(D) Coretta said, "I want to read that book!"

Step-by-step explanation:

In writing sentences that have a conversation or dialogue, it is mandatory to put the speech within inverted commas.

In the first option, there is no closing inverted commas.

Option 2 is wrong in using the full stop right after 'said'.

Option 3 is also wrong in putting the exclamation mark outside of the inverted commas. So, the correct punctuation for the sentence will be -

Coretta said, "I want to read that book!"
