Answer:

A). “Why did you ever start playing Words with ​Friends?”​, asked my husband.

Step-by-step explanation:

Punctuation marks are illustrated as the signs or symbols that are employed to separate the parts of the sentences and reflect the structure of the sentence to the readers that serves to enhance the readability of the sentence and clarify the meaning of the sentence.

In the given question, first option could be considered as correctly punctuated as it appropriately employs the comma after the dialogue, inverted commas(") to quote the dialogue and the question mark(?) to reflect the interrogation. Option B does not involve a question mark while in option C inverted commas are put before the question mark and option D does not include a comma(,) after the completion of dialogue and hence, all these three are incorrect. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
