Answer:

D. Naveen asked if he had to go just then

Read Explanation:

Direct Speech: Naveen said, "Need I go at once?"

  • This is a question where Naveen is inquiring whether he needs to go immediately (ഉടനെ പോകേണ്ടതുണ്ടോ എന്ന് നവീൻ അന്വേഷിക്കുന്ന ചോദ്യമാണിത്).
  • "Need" changes to "had to" to fit the past tense context of reported speech.
  • "I" changes to "he" to match the third-person reporting context.
  • "At once" is appropriately changed to "just then" to reflect the time shift.
