Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Rakshit said that he was bored of watching TV.

Conjunction: Add "that" after the reporting verb "said"
Verb: "am bored" (present) → "was bored" (past)
Tense: Simple present changes to simple past in reported speech
Pronoun: "I" changes to "he" (as the subject is Rakshit)

Converted sentence: Rakshit said that he was bored of watching TV.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
