Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Reporting verb ‘said’ - unchanged because it is objectless. Conjunction - ‘That’ Reported Speech (Past Indefinite will be converted into Past Perfect Tense) Pronoun (I) will be changed into ‘she’. So, the correct Indirect speech will be - She said that she had taken home with her.
