You can enable the quit option by entering the following command in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.finder QuitMenuItem -bool true; killall Finder

defaults write com.apple.finder QuitMenuItem -bool false; killall Finder

Now when selecting the Finder top menu option, you’ll see the Quit command.
