The correct answer is Option (2) → She said to me "Are you going to college?"

Indirect question to direct speech:

Change	Indirect	Direct	Why
Reporting verb	asked	said to	“Asked” becomes “said to”, and the spoken words go inside inverted commas.
Linking word	if	– (dropped)	“If” is dropped and the words become a real question, with a question mark.
Word order	I was	are you	The helping verb comes before the subject: “are you”.
Pronoun change	I	you	“I” becomes “you”, since the question is put to the listener.
Tense change	was going	are going	The past continuous “was going” returns to the present continuous “are going”.
Full sentence	She asked me if I was going to college.	She said to me “Are you going to college?”

Example: He asked me if I was ready. → He said to me, “Are you ready?”

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 1: She asked me, "Will you go to college?" — Incorrect. "Will you go" changes the present continuous into the future tense. "Was going" comes from "are going".

Option 3: She asked to me, "Was I going to college?" — Incorrect.

• "asked to me" is wrong. Ask takes a direct object (asked me).
• The pronoun and the tense are left as in the indirect form: "Was I" should be "Are you".

Option 4: She said, "Am I going to college?" — Incorrect. The listener "me" is dropped, and "Am I" makes her ask about herself, not about the listener.
