Answer

The answer is C. Emilio called the movie "one of the worst I've been in."

Explanation
Option A: Emilio called the movie "One of the worst I've been in."

This option incorrectly capitalizes the first word inside the quotation marks. Since the quoted material is not a complete sentence, the first word should not be capitalized.

Option B: Emilio called the movie "One of the worst I've been in".

This option has two issues: it incorrectly capitalizes the first word inside the quotation marks, and it omits the period at the end of the sentence inside the quotation marks.

Option C: Emilio called the movie "one of the worst I've been in."

This option correctly uses lowercase for the first word inside the quotation marks and includes the period inside the quotation marks, which is the standard practice in American English.

Option D: Emilio called the movie "one of the worst I've been in".

This option correctly uses lowercase for the first word inside the quotation marks but incorrectly places the period outside the quotation marks. In American English, punctuation such as periods and commas are typically placed inside the quotation marks.
