Show answer and explanation

Answer: D. Meena said, "Rita, where are you?"

The correct answer is D. Meena said, "Rita, where are you?"
In direct speech, the past tense "was" reverts to the present tense "are", and the third-person "she" changes to the second-person "you" because Meena is addressing Rita directly.
