• A. Alex said that he has finished his task
• B. Alex said that I had finished my task
• C. Alex said that he have finished my task
• D. Alex said that he had finished his task

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Alex said that he had finished his task

• Direct speech:
  Alex said, "I have finished my task."

• Change in tense (Reported/Indirect Speech Rule):

  • The reporting verb "said" is in the past tense.

  • So, the present perfect ("have finished") changes to past perfect ("had finished").

• Pronoun change:

  • "I" → "he" (referring to Alex)
