Answer:

A. He said "Is such a thing possible"?

Read Explanation:

The given sentence is in indirect speech, and it is converted to direct speech.

When we convert indirect speech to direct speech, we need to make some changes:

  • We remove the indirect speech words like "whether", "if", etc.
  • We use the person's exact words, which are usually in the form of a question or a statement.
  • We keep the same verb tense (e.g., "was" becomes "is" in this case).

So, in this case:

  • Indirect Speech: He asked whether such a thing was possible.
  • Direct Speech: He said, "Is such a thing possible?"
