B.

Correct option is A

The correct expression in indirect speech is (a) "Rahul says that he goes to the gym daily."
Direct speech- Direct speech, also known as quoted speech or direct quotation, is a way of reporting someone's exact words.
Indirect speech- Indirect speech, also known as reported speech or indirect quotation, is a way of reporting someone's words or thoughts indirectly, without using their exact words.
Rules for converting direct speech to indirect speech-
· In indirect speech, tenses  do not change if the words used within the quotes (‘’) talk of a habitual action or universal truth.
· The  tenses of direct speech do not change if the reporting verb is in the  future tense or  present tense
· Reporting verbs such as ‘said/ said to’ changes to said, told.
· Comma inverted comma will be replaced with conjunction “That”.
· The  first person in direct speech  changes as per the subject of the speech.
· The  second person of direct speech  changes as per the object of reporting speech.
· The  third person of direct speech  doesn’t change.
The direct speech "I go to the gym daily" is appropriately converted to indirect speech while maintaining the present tense to reflect an ongoing habit or routine. The pronoun "I" is correctly changed to "he" to suit the third-person narrative.
