The correct option is D Are you Turkish
The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported).
In the direct speech, the exact words of the original speaker are repeated.
In the indirect speech (reported speech), the exact meaning of what the speaker told is expressed but not necessarily in the speaker’s exact words.
Option D is correct as the direct speech should be in the simple present tense.
Options A, B, and C are wrong as the direct speech is not interrogative, the speaker is not asking himself whether he was Turkish or not, and 'they' are asking the speakerwhether he was Turkish respectively.
The correct answer is D)Are you Turkish
