    Correct option is A

    The correct indirect speech of the given sentence is "I shall go to my teacher and say that I have tried my level best, but couldn't succeed."

    Correct Structure:
    · Direct: I shall go to my teacher and say, "Madam, I have tried my level best, but couldn't succeed."
    · Indirect: I shall go to my teacher and say that I have tried my level best, but couldn't succeed.
    Incorrect Options:
    · (b) Went to my teacher – Incorrect past tense.
    · (c) Can go – Incorrect modal verb.
    · (d) Will be going – Incorrect continuous tense.
