Correct Answer: Sagarika said that she had passed her examination.


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

The steps of conversion are as follows:

  • There would be no change in the reporting verb in the indirect speech.
  • "I" (a first-person pronoun) changes to "she" (a third-person pronoun).
  • The present perfect tense "have passed" is changed to the past perfect tense "had passed".
  • The connector "that" is used to introduce the reported clause.

Therefore, the correct answer is: "Sagarika said that she had passed her examination."
