Answer 2

He said that they had been there three months before. -This is the answer.

Explanation:

• 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.
• 'He said' becomes 'he said that' in reported speech.
• The entire sentence is converted into past tense. That is the verbs take the past tense form.
• The person within the quotation marks must be changed in reported form if necessary.
• So 'they were' becomes 'they had been'.
• 'Here' becomes 'there' and 'ago' becomes 'before' in indirect speech.
• Therefore the answer is: He said that they had been there three months before.
