Correct option is D
The correct indirect narration of the sentence “Lalita said, ‘Ram, where are you going?’” is:
“Lalita asked Ram where he was going.”
Here’s why:
When converting from direct to indirect speech, we must follow these grammar rules:
The reporting verb must suit the sentence type. Since it is an interrogative sentence, use “asked” or “enquired.”
Question format becomes a statement in reported speech, so no auxiliary inversion (e.g., "was he" becomes "he was").
Pronouns must be changed appropriately: "you" becomes "he" (as Ram is a third person male).
Tense must be changed (from present continuous “are going” to past continuous “was going”).
No question mark is used at the end of indirect interrogative sentences.
Hence, option (d) is grammatically and structurally accurate.
