The answer would be D.) She cried, "Help!"

It is D.) because before inserting a quote, you need a comma separating the two phrases. You need a capital H in Help because this is the beginning of a "sentence"/ phrase. The ! would be in the quotes because it is apart of the quoted phrase and that's just how punctuation works :)

Hope this helps!
