Solution

The correct option is B The monkey said that he had left his heart on the tree.
Indirect Speech is used to report something in our own words.
In the case of the present perfect tense, reported speech is formed by using the past perfect tense. Inverted commas are removed and 'that' is used as a conjunction.
The sentence would become: The monkey said that he had left his heart on the tree.
Thus, option C is the correct answer according to the rules.
