    B.

    She said that she would finish her work.

    C.

    She said that she will finish her work.

    D.

    Correct option is A

    The correct indirect speech of the given sentence is (a) She said that she had finished her work.
    Explanation:
    · The given sentence is in direct speech (Present Perfect Tense).
    · When converting Present Perfect (have/has + past participle) to indirect speech, it changes to Past Perfect (had + past participle).
    · Structure:
    · Direct: Subject + said, “I have + past participle + object.”
    · Indirect: Subject + said that + subject + had + past participle + object.
    · "I have finished" (direct) changes to "she had finished" (indirect).

    Direct: He said, “I have seen this movie.”
    Indirect: He said that he had seen that movie.
