The answer to your question is A.) , because there is a period after Amy, and the speech is the only thing that should have the speech marks, hence the title speech.

A because all the capital letters and punctuation is in the correct place and the quotes are also correct!

The sentence with the correct punctuation is option A: “I’m really tired of all this walking,” groaned Amy. “Can’t we rest for a minute?” It correctly uses commas and question marks in relation to the quoted speech. The other options incorrectly lack necessary commas or punctuation after names.
