The correctly punctuated sentence is- The teacher asked me, "Where did Jefferson go?"

Answer: Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Punctuation plays a vital role in writing. A misplaced punctuation mark can change the whole meaning of a sentence, hence is it necessary to make a proper use of punctuation marks while writing.

From the above mentioned sentences we can figure out that the teacher is asking someone about one of her student. So for such statement, the correct sentence would be, The teacher asked me, "Where did Jefferson go?" Here we can see that punctuation marks are used correctly. A double inverted comma is added for what teacher have asked, and the statement is ended by adding a question mark since the teacher is asking a question.
