D. He said to her that she might succeed.
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
In direct speech, the statement "May you succeed!" expresses a wish for someone's success. When converting it to indirect speech, the verb "said" changes to "wished" to convey the act of expressing a wish. Therefore, the correct conversion is Option C: He wished her success.This Question Belongs to Competitive English >> Direct And Indirect Speech
