I said I (don’t) understand.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. didn’t.

The sentence "I said I (don’t) understand" is in reported speech, and the correct form is "didn’t" because the past tense of "don’t" (present tense) is needed in indirect speech.

So, the correct sentence is: "I said I didn’t understand."
