Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Deepti asked Pravin if he liked to watch movies.

  1. Inverted comma will be removed.
  2. 'Said to' will change into 'asked' as the sentence is interrogative.
  3. 'Do' will be replaced by 'if' as the question starts with an auxiliary verb.
  4. 'You' will be changed into 'he' as the second person changes according to the object of the reporting verb.
  5. 'Like' will be changed into 'liked'.
  6. Question mark will be changed into full stop.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
