Detailed Solution

When the actual words of the speaker are mentioned as it is, the statement is Direct speech. If it is written as reported by someone, then the statement is in Indirect speech. While converting questions into indirect speech, 'that' is not used after the reporting verb. Option A gets eliminated in this way. While converting a question into indirect speech, 'if' or 'whether' should be used in case the reporting verb is not followed by an interrogative word like what, when, or why to introduce the question. So, in this case, 'if' or 'whether' must be used. Option C gets eliminated because of this reason. Quotation marks are also not used while writing in indirect speech. Option D is wrong because of this. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
