Correct Answer: Savita said that she was enjoying her stay in the hills.


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

The steps of conversion are as follows:

  • There would be no change in the reporting verb.
  • The first-person pronouns "I"  and "my" are changed to the third-person pronouns "she" and "her", respectively.
  • The present continuous tense "am enjoying" is changed to the past continuous tense "was enjoying".
  • The connector "that" is used to introduce the reported clause.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Savita said that she was enjoying her stay in the hills.
