He wished his friend good morning and asked how he/she was. The sentence is in the indirect speech.

Indirect speech:

  • The words uttered by a person can be reported in two different ways.
  • Direct and Indirect.
  • When one quotes the exact words of the speaker, we call it direct speech.
  • On converting a interrogative sentence into indirect speech the reporting verb said is converted to asked.
  • The reporting verb is in the past.
  • The direct speech is in the simple present tense.
  • Hence the indirect speech will be in the past indefinite tense
  • The correct answer is: He wished his friend good morning and asked how he/she was.
