Answer 1

C i think.

u have to always end your sentence with a period. (D) didn't end it with one so its incorrect. (B) ended the sentence he said with a period when it shouldn't have been ended, along with (A).(C) is the only one that makes sense to me

Answer 2

The correct punctuation is .B

Step-by-step explanation:

A has a comma after the quotation marks so you know that that option is wrong. C is wrong because you are not supposed to capitalize the first letter of the word after the comma. D is wrong because there is no period after he said which is an incomplete sentence.
