D
Correct answer
Explanation
Direct quotations require quotation marks at the beginning and end. When a dialogue tag like 'said Mom' follows the quotation, the comma goes inside the closing quotation mark before the tag. The correct format is: 'Clean your room before you go out to play," said Mom.' Option D is the only one with proper quotation mark placement.
