The correct answer is Option (4) → The director applauded that Suhani had danced well and declared that she had won the contest.

Direct	Indirect
The director said, "What a good dance, Suhani! You have won the contest."	The director applauded that Suhani had danced well and declared that she had won the contest.

Exclamation and statement in indirect speech:

• Reporting verb: for the exclamation the reporting verb shows the feeling (applauded, exclaimed with joy), and "What a good dance" becomes a plain statement: that Suhani had danced well. The statement takes a second reporting verb (declared, said), joined by and.
• Tense change: have won → had won (present perfect to past perfect after a past reporting verb).
• Pronoun changes: you → she (Suhani).
• Words of nearness (time and place): none in this sentence.
  Example: He said, "What a fine catch!" → He exclaimed that it was a very fine catch.

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 1: The director exclaimed that Suhani danced well and she won contest. — Incorrect.

• The tenses are not changed: "danced" and "won" should be "had danced" and "had won".
• The article is missing: "won the contest".

Option 2: The director told what a good dance Suhani had won the contest. — Incorrect. The two parts are run together without sense, the exclamation "what a good dance" is kept as it was, and "told" has no object.

Option 3: The director asked what Suhani danced good and won the contest. — Incorrect.

• "asked" is for questions; the original is an exclamation and a statement.
• "danced good" uses an adjective where the adverb "well" is needed, and the tenses are not changed.
