She said that she loved to eat pineapple.

The most appropriate option to express the given sentence in indirect speech is:

She said that she loved to eat pineapple.

The other options are incorrect:

• She said that she love to eat pineapple. - This is incorrect because the present tense verb "love" is used, but the original sentence is in the past tense.
• She said that I loved to eat pineapple. - This is incorrect because the pronoun "I" refers to the speaker, but the speaker is reporting what someone else said.
• She said that she had loved to eat pineapple. - This is incorrect because the present perfect tense verb "had loved" is used, but the original sentence is in the simple past tense.
