Hello!

The correct answer is D: "That party," Lisa exclaimed, "was so much fun!"

Quotation marks are used to enclose the words that a person speaks. This gives the reader a clear and visual understanding of a character's speech.
B and C are both incorrect because the words that Lisa speaks are not correctly enclosed in quotation marks. D properly shows what Lisa is saying.
A is also incorrect because there should be a comma after "That party." The comma is used to split Lisa's speech and allow a short description (Lisa exclaimed) between the phrases that Lisa speaks.
