Correct answer: A

Explanation

The sentence 'The journalist noted that the celebrity was having a very busy schedule that week' is in indirect speech. To convert it into direct speech, the tense of the verb should be shifted back from past continuous to present continuous, and the time expression 'that week' should be changed to 'this week' to reflect the immediate context of the speaker.
