Choose the correct indirect speech for the following sentence: She said, 'I am going to the market.

She said that she is going to the market.

She said that I was going to the market.

She said that she was going to the market.

She said that she had gone to the market.

The reporting verb "said" is in the past tense.

Therefore, the verb in the reported speech also shifts one step back in tense:

"am going" (present continuous) → "was going" (past continuous).

The pronoun "I" changes to "she" to match the subject.

Correct Answer: c) She said that she was going to the market.
