Solution

The correct option is D It had come to beautify its origin
The given sentence is a statement.
The reporting verb 'replied' is given and it is in the past form. So, according to the rules of narration and reporting, the reported verb must be in its corresponding past form. Therefore, 'have come' is changed into 'had come'. The second person pronoun is changed into the person of the speaker.
We can thus eliminate options A and B as incorrect answers.
Thus, in indirect speech the sentence should be,
The rain replied that it had come to beautify its origin.
Thus option C is the correct answer.
