As there is A the answer
But when we interpret the main statement it means; She is questioning him why don't you go(try going) today.
So, if we try changing the speech, does that implicate any way to the change of day. Even, if it is an indirect way to mention it, should be " She asked him why aren't you going today".
In this sense, D is going to be the righteous change of speech.

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?

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'.

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.
So option A is right answer.

According to speech conversion, we may think that option A is correct
However according to the present tense form of the given statement option D is correct.
Correct me, If I am wrong.
