Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the third option.
"Said me" is not the correct phrasing in English for reporting news or information to someone. It should be "told me" or "said to me". "Said to me" is grammatically correct, but in this context, "told me" is a more common and appropriate phrase for conveying the idea of sharing news or information with someone.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: She told me the news.
