Verified Answer :

BThe punctuation belongs outside of the parenthetical citation.

When using parenthetical citation, remember that the citations go at the end of a sentence and that any quotation marks should go after the citation (as that isn't what is being quoted) and remember that punctuation as well belongs outside of the parentheses.
