Correct Answer: I told her that I was not very happy at work.


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The steps of conversion are as follows:

  • The reporting verb "said" is changed to "told".
  • The auxiliary verb "am" is changed to its past form, "was".
  • The connector "that" is used to introduce the reported clause.
  • There would be no change in the pronoun, as there is no change in the person.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: " I told her that I was not very happy at work."
