B

C

D

Correct Answer: Abid told me that he had been ill.
Abid said to me, "I was ill" বাক্যটির indirect speech হবে - Abid told me that he had been ill. Reporting verb ও reported speech উভয়ই past indefinite এ থাকলে indirect speech এ reported speech কে past perfect করতে হয়। এই নিয়ম আনুযায়ী (খ) সঠিক।
