Detailed Solution

The given sentence Manisha said to her neighbour, "Your son broke my glass panel yesterday", is in direct speech format. The actual words of the speaker, that is, Manisha, are quoted here. We need to convert it into indirect speech, as reported by someone else. The given sentence is a complaint that Manisha makes to her neighbour. Instead of the reporting verb "said", the word "complained" can be used. "Yesterday" also changed into the "previous day". Hence, option A is incorrect. In option C, quotation marks are used, which indirect speech does not use. In option D, past perfect tense is used instead of simple past. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
