Correct Answer: Her parents said to her, "Will the match proposed by us be acceptable to you?"
Solution : The fourth option is the correct answer.

- The third-person pronoun "her" is changed to the second-person pronoun "you". And "them" is changed to "us".
- The words of the speaker are enclosed in the inverted commas.
Therefore, the correct answer is: Her parents said to her, "Will the match proposed by us be acceptable to you?"
