• B. Peggy asked whether what could they do then.
• C. Peggy asked what they could do then.
• D. Peggy asked what can we do then

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Peggy asked what they could do then.

This is the correct reported speech form of:

Peggy asked, "What can we do now?"

Changes in reported speech:

• can → could

• we → they

• now → then

• In reported questions, subject comes before the verb (no question word order).

Therefore:

Peggy asked what they could do then. ✅
