A.

Tina said that her parents are getting divorced.

B.

Tina said that her parents were get divorced.

C.

Tina said that her parents have been getting divorce.

D.

Tina said that her parents were getting divorced.

Correct option is D

The correct indirect speech is (d) Tina said that her parents were getting divorced.
Direct speech: Quoting someone's exact words.
Indirect speech: Reporting someone's words in our own way without quotation marks.
Conversion rules:
· Reporting verb "said" is in past → change present continuous “are getting” to past continuous “were getting”.
· "My" becomes "her" (according to Tina).
Structure:
Direct: Subject + said, "Subject + is/are + verb-ing..."
Indirect: Subject + said that + subject + was/were + verb-ing...
