Identify the correctly punctuated question: 

1. What time is it
2. What time is it!
3. What time is it?
4. What time is it,

Direct questions always end with question marks (per APA Style). Exclamation marks (option b) change tone to excitement. Periods (option a) or commas (option d) are incorrect for interrogative sentences. Rhetorical questions still require question marks.
