Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. She said that however hard it rained, she had to go to work.

Given sentence: She said, “However hard it rains, I have to go to work.”

Remove commas and inverted commas and add the conjunction that.

"rains" is changed to "rained."

So, the final sentence is:

She said that however hard it rained, she had to go to work.
