Correct Answer: Tina said that her parents were getting divorced.
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
The steps of conversion are as follows:
- There would be no change in the reporting verb.
- The connector "that" is used to introduce the reported clause.
- The present continuous tense "are getting" is changed to the past continuous tense "were getting".
- The first-person pronoun "my" is changed to the third-person pronoun "her".
Therefore, applying these rules, the indirect form is: "Tina said that her parents were getting divorced."
