Because the H isn't capitalized ?... I think?

btaylor · Answer

Yes, it is C because it continues the sentence. I'm not sure if a "divided quote" includes the end of a sentence.

e.mccormick · Answer

Yah, it is the only one of those that makes sense.  They are valid constructions when there can be a , in the sentence.
