Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. He said that two and two make four.

"He said that" introduces the reported speech.

The statement "two and two make four" remains unchanged because it is a general truth and does not require changes in tense or pronouns.
