Answer 2

Neha said that she had bought a pen the previous day. -This is the right answer.

About indirect speech:

• The sentence that is given in direct speech must be changed into indirect speech.
• When a sentence is changed into indirect speech, the comma and quotation marks must be removed and 'that' must be added there.
• The entire sentence is converted into past tense. That is the verbs take the past tense form. Here it is already in simple past. So it has to be changed into past perfect in reported form.
• Thus 'bought because 'had bought'.
• The person within the quotation marks must be changed in reported form accordingly. So 'I' is changed into the speaker 'she'.
• In indirect speech, 'yesterday' becomes 'the previous day'.
• Therefore the answer is: Neha said that she had bought a pen the previous day.
