No, @Rishav Raaz.
A is not correct because when she is telling about herself, she is not going to use "Her". So, C is right.

The answer should be A because her brother is the third person and by the rules 3rd person will not change, her brother is remained same.

Direct to indirect = present to past.
Question here is in indirect therefore convert it into direct by using present as it is from indrect to direct i.e., from past to present.

Notice that the sentence starts with "she said" so the whole sentence goes in past. Don't get confused, watch out how the sentence starts.
