Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. She said that she would see me later.

  • The given sentence is in direct speech.
  • The following steps need to be followed:
  • The first-person pronoun 'I' becomes the third-person pronoun 'she'.
  • The second-person pronoun 'you' becomes the first-person pronoun 'me'.
  • The commas and inverted commas are removed, and 'that' is added.
  • The future simple tense format 'Subject + will + V1 (see) + Object'  will be changed into the simple present tense format 'Subject + would+ V1(see) +Object'.

The required indirect speech is-

She said that she would see me later.
