Solution

The correct option is A Tina said that her purse had been stolen.

An action in a sentence can be represented in two ways, namely active and passive voice.

The passive voice always uses the past participle form of the main verb irrespective of any tense. Only the auxiliary verbs depend upon the sentence given in active voice.

The given sentence is in the active voice.

The correct answer is A) Tina said that her purse had been stolen.

Option A) is correct as the subject of the given sentence comes in the place of the object and vice versa. Also, the main verb is used in the third form.

Options B, C, and D are not correct as the tense used is wrong, the sentence structure is wrong, and one of the options is correct respectively.
