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.

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.
