Solution

The correct option is A Charlie said that he was living in London then.
Indirect Speech is used to report something in our own words.
The given sentence is an example of the present continuous tense which changes to past continuous tense in indirect speech. 'Now' changes to 'then' in indirect speech.
Indirect speech would be - Charlie said that he was living in London then.
Thus, option C is the correct answer according to the rules.
