    Question

    Rewrite the sentence in direct speech.
    Sumanth said that he would have called a doctor.

    A.

    Sumanth said, "I will call a doctor"

    B.

    Sumanth said, "I will be calling a doctor"

    C.

    Sumanth said, "I will have called a doctor"

    D.

    Sumanth said, "I should call a doctor"

    Correct option is C

    The sentence in indirect speech "he would have called a doctor" indicates a future perfect tense in the past, which directly converts to "I will have called a doctor" in direct speech.
    Rule of Conversion: Future perfect tense in the past (would have called) is directly converted to future perfect (will have called) in direct speech. Pronouns and temporal phrases are adjusted accordingly.
    Example: He said he would have finished -> He said, "I will have finished."
