Rewrite the sentence in indirect speech. Kumar said, "I am unwell."
Question

Rewrite the sentence in indirect speech.
Kumar said, "I am unwell."

A.

Kumar said that he had been unwell

B.

Kumar said that he is unwell

C.

Kumar said that he has been unwell

D.

Kumar said that he was unwell

Correct option is D

The statement "I am unwell" in direct speech is correctly converted to "he was unwell" in indirect speech, using the past tense to indicate that the statement was made in the past.
Rule of Conversion: Present simple in direct speech becomes past simple in indirect speech to indicate that the state or action was reported and not current.
Example: He said, "I am tired" -> He said that he was tired.
