Explanation:

A direct quote can be useful in a paper or an essay to strengthen an argument or support an idea. The correct use of quotation marks is needed to indicate exactly when a direct quote begins and ends. Answer B is the only one that correctly incorporates the direct quotation. In the other answers the quotation marks were either not there at all, in the middle of the quote or just at the beginning.
