Answer 2

Here is the correct answer along with explanation:

He asked John when he had bought it.

Explanation

It was an interrogative case.  The reporting verb 'said to' is changed into 'asked', enquired' or 'wanted to know'.

When we convert an interrogative sentence starting with wh- word, we don’t add any conjunction such as ‘that’, ‘if’ etc. We just use the wh-word and turn the question into statement. The other tense and pronoun changes are applied as per the reported speech rules.
