• A. Vihaan asked me what is my name.
• B. Vihaan asked me what my name is.
• C. Vihaan asked me if my name was.
• D. Vihaan asked me what my name was.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Vihaan asked me what my name was.

Indirect Speech is used to report something in our own words.

The given example is an example of Interrogative Questions. Indirect speech is formed by using 'ask' + question word + clause.

The clause will have the question, in normal word order and with the necessary tense change. The given sentence is in the simple present tense which should be changed to simple past tense.

The sentence would become: Vihaan asked me what my name was.

Thus, option D is the correct answer according to the rules.
