Answer:

C. She said that she had been sending those messages.

ഇതൊരു Assertive sentence ആണ്. Subject ൽ ആരംഭിക്കുന്ന sentence ആണ് Assertive sentence. Direct Speech ൽ Past tense (said ) +Past continuous tense (was/were + ing) വന്നാൽ Indirect Speech ൽ വരുമ്പോൾ അത് Past perfect continuous tense ( had + been + ing) ആകും. Direct Speech ൽ 'said ' വന്നാൽ Indirect speech ൽ 'said' തന്നെ ആയിരിക്കും. അതിനു ശേഷം 'that' എഴുതണം. 'I' indirect speech ൽ വരുമ്പോൾ 'he/she' ആകണം( ഇവിടെ Subject 'she' ആയതുകൊണ്ടു 'she' തന്നെ എഴുതണം.). Direct Speech ൽ Past continuous tense (was/were + ing) വന്നാൽ Indirect speech ൽ Past perfect continuous tense ( had + been + ing) വരും. ഇവിടെ Direct Speech ൽ 'was sending' വന്നതു കൊണ്ട് Indirect Speech ൽ 'had been sending' ആകും. Direct Speech ൽ 'these' വന്നതുകൊണ്ട് Indirect Speech ൽ 'those' ആകും. എന്നിട്ടു balance എഴുതണം.
