Choose the option in which the above sentence has been correctly changed into Indirect Narration.
Hari said to me, “I want to help you.”

Correct option is C

Correct indirect speech: (c) Hari told me that he wanted to help me.
Key changes (highlight):
• “said to” → told (object “me” is present)
• Pronoun change: I → he (speaker Hari)
• Pronoun change: you → me (listener is “me”)
• Tense backshift: want → wanted (reporting verb past)
Grammatical Rule (English):
• said to + object → told + object
• Past reporting verb ⇒ Present tense generally shifts to Past (want → wanted).
व्याकरणिक नियम (Hindi):
• “said to” का indirect में रूप told होता है। Past reporting verb होने पर tense पीछे जाता है (want → wanted) और pronoun वक्ता/श्रोता के अनुसार बदलते हैं (I → he, you → me)।
Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
