Respuesta :

Answer:

D

Explanation:

A is wrong because it has a period after, down when it should be a comma.  The comma signals that that part of the sentence is what he is saying.  He is also capitalized when it should be lower case.  B is wrong because it has nothing after, down and nothing after said.  C is wrong because again, there's nothing after down.  The part option C did get right is the comma after said.  D has all the commas in the right places and all the words are capitalized when they're supposed to.
