Further Explanation:
Punctuations are used to add gaps in the written sentences. The symbols and signs which helps the reader to read and analyse the meaning of the sentences. There are different punctuation marks used in the English Language which serves different purposes in making a sentence a complete one. Some punctuation marks are a full stop, comma, inverted commas, colon, semicolon, brackets, and exclamation marks. Each of them is used for different purposes.
In the above set of options, the sentence (d) is the one which is correctly punctuated. The inverted commas are used when the direct speech said by the person is said in the person's words. The speech is enclosed under the inverted commas. In sentence (d) Anne's statements which are "I'm tired today" and "I Need to go to bed early tonight" is kept enclosed within the inverted commas. The speech in the inverted comma is separated by the rest of the sentence with the help of a comma. In the sentence (d) after the end of the first speech, a comma is placed which separated the rest of the sentence. Also, the full stop is placed outside the inverted commas to end the sentence. After the completion of the second speech, the full stop is added after enclosing it.
