really I thought when it was a complete question then the question mark goes on the outside...I thought B looked better....anyhow - thank you
Betsy is asking the question. Therefore, the question mark belongs before the closing quotation marks.

Here's an example of when the question mark would be AFTER the quotation marks:
Did he say, "I love you"?
This time the whole thing is a question, but the direct address (what "he" said) is a statement.
