Correct Answer: Neha said that she was going to see a movie that day.
Solution : The first option is the correct choice.
In indirect (reported) speech, when reporting someone else's statement, the tense of the reporting verb (in this case, "said") is often shifted back in time. In the original sentence, Neha said, "I am going to see a movie today."
In the reported speech, we shift the tense, so "am" becomes "was" to reflect the past. Additionally, the word "today" is changed to "that day" to maintain the correct temporal reference in the reported statement.
Therefore, the correct indirect form of the given sentence is: "Neha said that she was going to see a movie that day."
