Answer 1

Answer:

D. She told us for hurrying up

The correct reported form of "Hurry up," she said to us is:

She told us to hurry up.

The phrase "for hurrying up" is incorrect because the verb "told" is typically followed by "to" + the base form of the verb in reported speech. So, "to hurry up" is the correct structure.
