Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Sumit said that he would be leaving for London that summer and he could meet me only when he returned.
We need to follow some rules for converting direct narration into indirect narration.
There should be no change in the reporting verb (said) as there is no object after it.
"will" should be changed into "would".
As only the chosen option follows the above rules so it will be correct.
