Correct Answer: d)
Explanation:
In indirect speech: ‘will not be able to’ becomes ‘would not be able to’, ‘this quarter’ becomes ‘that quarter’, ‘is a great disappointment’ becomes ‘was a great disappointment’, ‘for all of us’ becomes ‘for all of them’, and ‘will make’ becomes ‘would make’. Thus, option (d) correctly applies all tense and pronoun rules.
Indirect speech में ‘will’ बदलकर ‘would’ हो जाता है, ‘this quarter’ बदलकर ‘that quarter’, ‘is’ बदलकर ‘was’ और ‘all of us’ बदलकर ‘all of them’ हो जाता है। यह सब विकल्प (d) में सही तरीके से किया गया है।
