Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Dr. Chanda said that she would definitely write about that case in the medical journal.

The following steps need to be followed to convert the given direct speech into its indirect form:

  • In this case, "will" changes to "would" as "said" is in the past tense.
  • The first person pronoun "I" is changed to the Third person pronoun "she" according to the subject Dr. Chanda.

So, by following these steps, you arrive at the correct indirect form: Dr. Chanda said that she would definitely write about that case in the medical journal.
