Select the option that expresses the given sentence in Direct to Indirect Speech.
She said, "I had eaten breakfast."

Correct option is C

The correct indirect/ direct speech is (c).
Explanation: Reported speech of a past perfect statement ( had eaten) remains past perfect in indirect speech; there is no further backshift. We remove quotes and introduce the clause with that; pronouns/time markers remain unchanged here.
Rules of conversion:
· Reporting verb “said” (past, neutral) → keep the reported clause tense as is if it is already in past perfect.
· Quotation marks dropped; that-clause used.
· Pronoun “I” → she to match the subject of reporting clause.
· Result: She said that she had eaten breakfast.
