Correct Answer: b)
Explanation:
In indirect speech, simple past (‘finished’) changes to past perfect (‘had finished’), and past continuous (‘was preparing’) changes to past perfect continuous (‘had been preparing’).
Indirect Speech में Simple Past (‘finished’) बदलकर Past Perfect (‘had finished’) और Past Continuous (‘was preparing’) बदलकर Past Perfect Continuous (‘had been preparing’) हो जाता है।
