Correct Answer: a)
Explanation:
Tense and demonstrative shifts in reported speech: ‘have been studying’ -> ‘had been studying’, ‘this’ -> ‘that’, ‘do not understand’ -> ‘did not understand’, ‘is’ -> ‘was’. Option (a) correctly applies all these transformations.
अप्रत्यक्ष कथन (Indirect speech) में: ‘have been studying’ बदलकर ‘had been studying’ हो जाता है, ‘this’ का ‘that’, ‘do not understand’ का ‘did not understand’ और ‘is’ का ‘was’ हो जाता है। अतः विकल्प (a) सही है।
