Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.

He said, "I will never hurt you."

He said that he would never hurt me. 

The correct indirect form of the given sentence is:

He said that he would never hurt me.

The other options are incorrect because they do not follow these rules:

• He said he should never hurt me. - This sentence uses the modal verb "should," which implies obligation or duty, which is not the same as the original statement's intention of a promise or assurance.
• He says that he will never hurt me. - This sentence uses the present tense for the reporting verb "says," which is incorrect in indirect speech.
• He said that he will never hurt me. - This sentence is the same as the direct form of the sentence, and it does not change the present tense to the past tense.
