Option C correctly uses a comma after "asked" and places the direct quotation within quotation marks. It also correctly capitalizes the first word of the direct quotation, uses a question mark appropriately, maintains proper capitalization after the question mark since it's part of the same sentence, and correctly hyphenates "forty-five."
