According to me answer should be D, please explain why here answer is marked A.

Nagendra said:   1 decade ago
Its not D because today should change to past tense as that day.

ANAND said:   1 decade ago

In the above sentence we should change to past tense, but if it happens in morning and the discussion happened in afternoon, that is also past tense right.

I mean what the above situation happens in same day but at different times. Can anybody help me?

Here option A is right because there is a question so asked is used in indirect speech and also foe today that day is used in indirect speech and it is only in option A.

So option A is right answer.

I am feeling the same, answer might be D.

Vaishnavi said:   9 years ago
I agree with the option A. It's just because in option A past tense is given and 'today' becomes 'that day' while changing speech. So option D would be incorrect since there is no change in the word 'today'.

Utkarsh said:   9 years ago
I also agree with @Vaishnavi. Option D is wrong.

Srinivas said:   9 years ago
The right answer is option D.

Mayukumarswamy said:   9 years ago
@Srinivas.

Can you clarify how option D is correct?
