Select the option that expresses the given sentence in direct speech.
He will say that he is okay.

Correct option is C

The correct direct speech is (c) He will say, “I am okay.”
Direct speech quotes the exact words spoken by someone, within quotation marks (e.g., He said, "I am coming").
Indirect speech reports what someone said without quoting them exactly (e.g., He said that he was coming).
Rules of conversion from indirect to direct:
· Reporting verb in future tense (“will say”) → no change in reported clause tense.
· "He is okay" becomes "I am okay" as the subject speaks directly.
Structure:
Indirect: He will say that he is okay.
Direct: He will say, “I am okay.”
Information Booster: No backshifting of tense occurs when the reporting verb is in future/present tense.
