Indirect to direct speech:

Change	Indirect	Direct	Why
Reporting verb	said that a solar eclipse	said, “Solar eclipse	“Said that” becomes “said,” followed by the speaker’s words inside inverted commas.
Tense kept	occurs ... comes	occurs ... comes	The reported words state a universal truth (a scientific fact), so the present tense stays the same in both forms: “occurs ... comes”.
Full sentence	Ravi’s mother said that a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth.	Ravi’s mother said, “Solar eclipse occurs when the Moon comes between the Sun and the Earth”.

The rest of the sentence stays as it is, with "the Moon", "the Sun" and "the Earth".

Example: The teacher said, “Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.”

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 1: Ravi's mother said, "Solar eclipse occurred when the Moon came between the Sun and Earth". — Incorrect. A universal truth is not put in the past tense, and "the" before Earth is dropped.

Option 3: Ravi's mother said, "Solar eclipse will occur when Moon came between the Sun and Earth". — Incorrect. It mixes the future "will occur" with the past "came", and drops "the" before Moon and Earth.

Option 4: Ravi's mother said, "Solar eclipse occurs when Moon have come between Sun and Earth". — Incorrect. "Moon have come" is wrong in agreement and tense, and the articles are missing.
