Choose the correct indirect speech: Jack said, "Can I go and drive, father?"

None of these

In indirect speech, the question is converted into a statement.

The question "Can I go and drive, father?" becomes "Jack asked his father if he could go and drive."

The pronoun "I" changes to "he," and the verb "can" changes to "could" in reported speech.
