The correct answer is Option 2 i.e.The teacher told Kavya that she needed a new notebook for English.

The indirect form of the given sentence changes the direct speech to reported speech by modifying the reporting verb "said to" to "told," adjusting the pronoun "you" to "she," changing the present tense "need" to the past tense "needed," and adding the conjunction "that" to connect the clauses.

Hence, the correct indirect form is: The teacher told Kavya that she needed a new notebook for English.
