Correct Answer: She said that those vegetables did not look fresh.


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Conversion steps:

The present tense is changed to the past tense.

"These" changes to "those" to reflect the change in proximity from direct to reported speech.

So, the complete indirect form is: "She said that those vegetables did not look fresh."
