Explanation:
Indirect Speech is used to report something in our own words.
The given example is an example of Interrogative Questions. Indirect speech is formed by using 'ask' + question word + clause.
The clause will have the question, in normal word order and with the necessary tense change. In this case, the simple present tense is given in clause. It would be changed to simple past tense.
Indirect speech would be - Teacher asked Ravi what his name was.
Thus, option C is the correct answer according to the rules
The past perfect tense form of a verb has two parts:
The past tense form of ‘to be’ – known as helping verb or auxillary verb
Past participle form of the main verb.
The structure of the sentence:
Affirmative sentences:-
Subject + helping verb + main verb + object
subject+ had + main verb (in past participle form) + object
Example: Farah had completed her homework.
In case of two events one happening after the other:
Subject + helping verb + (event 1) main verb (past participle form) + link + object + (event 2) main verb (in simple past form)
Example: The sun had set before the party started.
Note that here two events are described
Event 1: The sun set (in past perfect tense)
Event 2: The party began (in simple past tense)
Linking these events: before
Interrogative sentences:-
Helping verb + subject + main verb + object
Have/has + subject + participle form of main verb + object
Example: Had Farah completed her homework?
Negative sentences:-
Subject + helping verb + NOT – main verb + object
Subject + had NOT + participle form of main verb = object
Example: Farah had not completed her homework
