Solution

The correct option is D The principal told us that the teaching staff at our school are the best.
‘The principal told us that the teaching staff at our school are the best.’ is the correct sentence. Here, the possessive adjective ‘our’ in direct speech remains the same because I am a part of the school the principal is talking about and I am the one reporting what the principal said.
