The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The traveller inquired if there would be a shelter for strangers.
- As the reported speech is in "Interrogative sentence" we need to make changes according to this.
- There will be a change in the reporting verb and it will be changed into "Inquired".
- The inverted comma will be changed into "IF".
- "Will" should be changed into "Would".
- The reported speech will be kept in the assertive structure (Subject + verb).
As all the rules are followed by the chosen option it will be correct.
