The correct response is: capitalize the first word if the quote is a complete sentence.
When incorporating a quote into a sentence, you generally capitalize the first word of the quote only if it is a complete sentence or if it is used at the beginning of your own sentence. If the quote is a fragment or part of a larger sentence, you do not capitalize it.
