Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Grandmother asked me how often I went to the temple.
- Inverted comma will be removed.
- 'Said to' will change to 'asked' as the sentence is interrogative.
- 'Go' will change to 'went' as 'said' is in the past tense.
- 'You' will change to 'I' as the second person changes according to the object of the verb.
