Answer:
I believe the answer is D
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all it definitely is not correct as is. This excludes answer A.
Secondly, answer B isn't right as a comma placed after said would follow with quotation marks "........." showing what was said. Since the actual wording is a general statement of what everybody said and not a direct quote then B isn't right.
The reason I exclude answer C is because of the long and drawn out sentence without some sense of a break. The run on is so long that to read properly would suggest no hesitation in the reading.
The three aforementioned exclusions lead me to the only "logical" answer...
answer D as the correct one.
hope this helps. Good luck and God bless. Jeremy
