Answer:

"Be careful, because the floor is wet," he warned.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a continued sentence after the dialogue which is why there is a comma there. If there was no continued sentence after the dialogue, it would be a period following the dialogue.

Example: "Be careful, because the floor is wet."
