If you put a space after intoned, and before the quotation marks, sentence A is correct.
Sentence D is incorrect, as Nahel noted, because of where the comma is in relation to the closing quotation marks. Sentence D should read like this:
Her short story, "The Last Day of Spring," won first prize.
Please also remember --
* one space after every word
* one space after every comma
* one space after every period
When you jam words and punctuation together, you create errors that probably weren't there in the text.
