Correct Answer:

Vikas said to Navin, “I haven’t met you since February last year.”

The correct direct form of the sentence is:

Vikas said to Navin, "I haven't met you since February last year."

The other options are incorrect:

  • Vikas said, "Navin, I haven't meet you since February last year." This is incorrect because the verb "meet" should be "met".
  • Vikas told to Navin, "I haven't met him since February last year." This is incorrect because the pronoun "him" is used instead of "you".
  • Vikas told Navin, "You haven't meeting me since February last year." This is incorrect because the verb "meeting" is incorrect. The correct verb is "met".
