A. Inside the closing quotation marks
In English, periods and question marks used in dialogue are typically placed inside the closing quotation marks. For example:
She said, "Let's go to the park."
If the question mark is part of the dialogue itself, it also goes inside the quotation marks:
He asked, "Are you coming with us?"
If the entire sentence is a question but the quoted material is not, the question mark goes outside:
Did she really say, "I will go"?
So, in the context of your question, the correct answer is A.
