Correct Answer: (2)
Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.
This is a case of indirect speech. The general pattern in reporting a question is that a question is changed to the statement, so "could" should come after the subjective pronoun "I". Thus, "could I" should be replaced with "I could" to make it a grammatically correct indirect statement.
Therefore, the correct statement is: "He asked me when I could finish the work."
