Correct Answer: 4


Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option.

In the transformation from direct to indirect speech, the verb that introduces the reported speech "said" is changed to "asked", and the reported question is transformed to a statement "where the film studio was" in the past tense since the asking had happened in the past.

Thus, the final sentence is: "The girl in the red dress asked me where the film studio was."
