Hello there :)

The correct answer is D.

Answer choice A is incorrect because the punctuation is located outside of the quotation marks.

Answer choice B is incorrect because there is no comma to differentiate the sentence from the quotation

Answer choice C is incorrect because the H in the word "Help" is not capitalized to signify the beginning of the quotation.

Hope this helps you :) have a wonderful day
