He will say that he is okay.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. He will say, “I am okay.”
The verb 'will say' is in the future tense, so the statement remains in the present tense ('I am okay') in direct speech.
Only first person pronoun 'I' changes to the third person pronoun 'he' according to the third person subject 'he'.
Indirect speech: He will say that he is okay.
Direct speech: He will say, “I am okay.”
