Correct Answer: Meena said, "My parents are getting divorced."
Solution : The second option is the correct answer.
The reporting verb "said" remains unchanged because it does not have an object.
The pronoun "her" is changed to "my" to match the subject of the reporting verb in direct speech.
The past continuous tense "were getting divorced" is changed to the present continuous tense "are getting divorced" when converting from indirect to direct speech.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: Meena said, "My parents are getting divorced."
