• C. Vidushi will say that she would be twenty five tomorrow.
• D. Vidushi had told that she would be twenty five the next day.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Vidushi said that she would be twenty five the next day.

In Direct-Indirect speech, modal ''will'' is converted into ''would'' and ''tomorrow'' is converted into ''the next day''.
The Indirect speech is ''Vidushi said that she would be twenty five the next day.''
