No, you do not use ellipses (...)
Ellipses are essentially series of dots (most likely '...') that are used to signify omitting phrases, sentences, words, ect.
Say for instance, ''the tan cat meowed, purred, then hit the food bowl.''
This becomes ''the tan cat.... hit the food bowl.'' Note that the other words were missing, or omitting. Instead they were replaced with eclipses.
The correct answer would be A. Single quotation marks are used inside the double quotation marks if you have a quotation within a quotation.
