Correct Answer: Anita told the mother that her child had been crying since morning.

Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The indirect form of reported speech involves reporting what someone else said without quoting them directly.

The steps of conversion are as follows:

• The reporting verb " said " is changed to "told" .
• The second-person pronoun "your" is changed to the third-person pronoun "her".
• The tense shifts from the present perfect continuous "has been crying" to the past perfect continuous "had been crying".
• The connector "that" is used to introduce the reported clause.

Therefore, the indirect form would be: "Anita told the mother that her child had been crying since morning."
