Sentence A is correctly punctuated with the quotation marks correctly enclosing the speaker's entire statement and the comma placement accurately reflecting the pause before the attribution "Dayan announced." Sentence B incorrectly splits the quoted speech into two sentences, which disrupts the flow and coherence of the speaker's intended message.
