The sentence that reflects the proper punctuation of the above sentence is option A. Hernandez states, "Children who eat at least one meal a day with the family unit are shown to have more stable relationships in adolescence and adulthood." The missing punctuation marks in the sentence are a pair of quotation marks and a comma.
