Solution

The correct option is A NO CHANGE
Quotation marks are used to indicate material that is being reproduced word for word. In the given sentence, only the first part of the sentence is in direct form of speech and it should be enclosed within quotations. Thus, according to the rules, the correct answer is Option A, no change.
Option B does not enclose the direct speech within quotation marks.
Option C and D are incorrect because the part of the sentence that is not direct is also enclosed within quotation marks.
