Answer 1

Hint: Read the given sentence and understand its context. Now, go through the options and choose the one with the punctuations which best express the sentence. Remember, To check for proper capitalization.

Complete answer: A punctuation mark is a mark, such as a full stop, comma, or question mark, used in writing to separate sentences and their elements and to clarify meaning. The given sentence is asking a question, so, a question mark has to be used at the end of it. A question mark is used to indicate an interrogatory sentence.
The punctuation in the quotes is the exact words which are being said by the speaker. Quotation marks are used in pairs to set off a direct speech or, a quote. The punctuations in a quoted text should be put within the quotes.
Option ‘a' cannot be the correct answer because the ‘s’ of school and ‘b’ of the bag shouldn’t be in the capital. They are not proper nouns.
Option ‘b’ is an incorrect option because an exclamation mark is used to indicate an expression or a strong feeling, which is not the case here.
Option ‘c’ is also an incorrect option because the ‘h’ of have has to be in the capital.
Option ‘d’ is the correct option as all the punctuation marks are correctly placed and the capital letters are also in the correct order.
Hence, option ‘d’ is the correct option.

Note: Inverted commas are punctuation marks that are used in writing to show where speech or a quotation begins and ends. They are usually written or printed as ‘ ‘ or “ ”. Inverted commas are also sometimes used around the titles of books, plays, or songs, or around a word or phrase that is being discussed.
