The correct answer is given below:

Ramu said that they had had no rain since January.

This was a reported speech case. When we convert the quoted speech into reported speech we apply certain rules of pronouns, tenses, adverbials etc.

According to those rules 'we' got converted into 'they' according to the subject. 'Have had' got converted into 'had had. The following tense rule has been applied here: present perfect tense changes into past perfect tense.
