- She said that I was going to the market.
- She said that she was going to the market.

Explanation
The reporting verb "said" is in the past tense.
Therefore, the verb in the reported speech also shifts one step back in tense:
"Am going" (present continuous) → "was going" (past continuous).
The pronoun "I" changes to "she" to match the subject.
Correct Answer: c) She said that she was going to the market.
