Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. She said to her mother, “Where is my gold bracelet?”
The given sentence is in indirect speech, to convert this sentence into direct speech we need to follow the following points:
- 'That' will be omitted and Inverted commas will be used.
- The reporting verb is in simple past tense i.e. 'said', will be used.
- In the reporting speech, change the past tense form i.e. 'was' into present tense form i.e. 'is' when converting into direct speech.
