Solution
The correct option is A Asmita said that she was exploring the mirror maze. The correct answer is ‘Asmita said that she was exploring the mirror maze.’ As the sentence changes from direct to reported speech, the tense changes from present continuous to past continuous. It talks about an ongoing action that took place in the past. It follows the structure of ‘subject + was/were + present participle form of verb’.
