Solution

The correct option is C Nidhi asked whether I knew where an oasis is situated in the Sahara.
When we converted the sentence from direct speech to reported speech, we replaced the verb ‘do’ with ‘whether’. The word ‘whether’ is used to indicate the choice of ‘yes’ or ‘no’ in a formal situation. The pronoun ‘you’ changed to ‘I’ and the verb in present tense ‘know’ changed to the verb in past tense ‘knew’.
