Correct Answer: I said to my brother, "Have you visited your friend who is in the hospital?"

- The past perfect tense "had visited" is changed to the present perfect tense "have visited".
- The words of the speaker are enclosed in the inverted commas.
- The connector "if" is removed.
- "He" (third-person pronoun) is changed to "you" (second-person pronoun).
So, the correct sentence would be: I said to my brother, "Have you visited your friend who is in the hospital?"
