Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer: She said that she used to live in Delhi.
Explanation
Reporting Verb:
'Said' remains 'said' and is followed by the conjunction 'that' in assertive sentences.
Pronoun Change:
The first-person pronoun 'I' changes to the third-person pronoun 'she' to agree with the subject of the reporting clause.
Tense/Modal Rule: The marginal auxiliary verb 'used to' does not change its form in indirect speech. It expresses a past habit or state and remains unchanged.
