She said that they would shift to the new house the following year.

A.

She said, “We will shift to the new house the following year.”

B.

She said, “We will shift to the new house next year.”

C.

She said, “They would shift to the new house next year.”

D.

Correct option is B


Direct speech: The exact words of the speaker are quoted using quotation marks. Indirect speech: The speaker’s words are reported with necessary changes in tense, pronouns, and structure.
Explanation:
In direct speech:
· “They would” becomes “We will” (speaker is part of the group)
· “The following year” becomes “next year”
Grammar Rule:
· In converting indirect to direct speech:
· "would" changes back to "will"
· pronouns are adjusted according to the speaker/listener
· time expressions: “the following year” → “next year”
· Example: He said that he would come the next day → He said, “I will come tomorrow.”
