Detailed Solution

The direct speech is written in double inverted commas and ends with a full stop. Hence, option 3 is the correct answer. Monali said, "I have come first in the race.
Option 1 - In the case of direct speech, the spoken sentence should start and end with double inverted commas. As the given sentence doesn't end in double inverted commas. Also, 'race' is not a proper noun and hence it shouldn't be capitalised. Thus, option 1 is incorrect.
As 'first' is not a proper noun, 'F' shouldn't be capitalised here, Hence, option 2 is incorrect.
The direct speech is a simple sentence and not a question, thus a question mark can't be used here. Hence, option 4 is incorrect.
