Correct answer: D

Correct indirect sentence: Sagarika said that she had passed her examination.

Explanation:

  • Identify the original sentence as direct speech: Sagarika said, "I have passed my examination."

  • Keep the reporting verb 'said' and remove the quotation marks; add the conjunction 'that' to introduce the reported clause.

  • Shift the tense: present perfect ('have passed') becomes past perfect ('had passed') because the reporting verb is in the past.

  • Change pronouns to match the speaker of the reporting verb: 'I' → 'she' and 'my' → 'her'.

  • Combine these changes to get the final indirect sentence: Sagarika said that she had passed her examination.
