      D He will say that he is ready for school. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Reported or indirect speech isย  usually used to talk about the past, so we normally change the tense of the words spoken . We use reporting verbs like 'say', 'tell', 'ask', and we may use the word 'that' to introduce the reported words. Inverted commas are not used. According to this the given option is most appropriate one.
