• B. <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> He stated that the longest cell in the human body was the nerve cell.

Answer 1

The correct option is A <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> He stated that the longest cell in the human body is the nerve cell.

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The option ‘He stated that the longest cell in the human body is the nerve cell.’ is correct because the nerve cell being the longest cell in the human body is a fact that doesn't change with time, place or speaker. Hence, it is reported in the present tense.
