Explanation: When punctuating dialogue, the correct format is to enclose the spoken words within quotation marks and use appropriate punctuation marks such as commas and periods. In this case, option A is punctuated correctly because it includes quotation marks around the spoken words and uses a comma to introduce the spoken words within the sentence. The period at the end of the sentence is also correctly placed inside the closing quotation mark. Option B is incorrect because it starts with a period instead of a quotation mark, and option C is incorrect because it ends with a period instead of a closing quotation mark.
