"I'll see you later," she said.

Options:

She said that she would see me later.

She said that she will see you later.

She said that she would be seeing me later.

She said that she will be able to see you later.

Correct Answer:

She said that she would see me later.

Explanation:

The correct option is:

She said that she would see me later.

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

  • She said that she will see you later. - This sentence uses the present tense instead of the past tense, which is incorrect in reported speech.
  • She said that she would be seeing me later. - This sentence uses the continuous tense, which is not necessary in reported speech.
  • She said that she will be able to see you later. - This sentence uses the modal verb "will be able to," which is not necessary in reported speech.
