I believe the answer is D because it uses a comma, allowing the word 'screamed' to be lowercased.

Choice A is incorrect because there is no comma following the word, "leg."

Choice C is incorrect because there are not quotation marks present starting at the word, "Help," and ending at, "leg."

Choice D is incorrect because the comma is outside of the quotations between, "leg," and "screamed."

Thus, that leaves us with Choice B. Which is correct.
