Detailed Solution

The given sentence Megha said to Amrit, "I have to catch the bus to Mumbai tomorrow." is in direct speech format. Here the actual words of the speaker are quoted as it is. We need to convert it into the indirect speech format as reported by someone else. The words expressing nearness in the direct speech format are changed into words expressing distance in the indirect speech format. For example, the word tomorrow in the direct speech format changes to the next day in the indirect speech format. Option A can be eliminated because of this reason. In option D, the same mistake is present, and quotation marks are used. In option C, the tense is wrong. Hence, option B is the right answer.
