Rewrite the sentence in direct speech. Rajesh told Sumithra that he loved his parents.
Question

Rewrite the sentence in direct speech.
Rajesh told Sumithra that he loved his parents.

A.

Rajesh said to Sumithra, "I am loving my parents"

B.

Rajesh said to Sumithra, "I love my parents"

C.

Rajesh said to Sumithra, "I have been loving my parents"

D.

Rajesh said to Sumithra, "I loves my parents"

Correct option is B

The statement "he loved his parents" is accurately converted to "I love my parents" in direct speech, maintaining the simple present tense indicative of a general truth or state.
Rule of Conversion: Past simple in indirect speech is converted to present simple in direct speech when stating general truths or ongoing emotions. Pronouns and possessives are adjusted to suit direct dialogue.
Example: He told her he loved his job -> He told her, "I love my job."
