Quotation marks are used to indicate material that is being reproduced word for word. Quotation marks must begin and end with the direct speech.

According to these rules, Option B can be termed wrong, as it encloses the whole sentence within quotes.

Option A does not include a question mark after the direct speech which is in an interrogative form

Option C is incorrect, the direct speech is not enclosed within quotation marks.

Thus, the correct answer will be Option D.
