The correct answer is Option 3, i.e.,$ ‘Father says that Kashmir is the heaven on earth’.

The given sentence is in direct speech as it directly reports what father says.$

Therefore, it has to be changed to indirect speech.$

Here, the reporting verb is in the Present Tense (‘says’ and not ‘said’).$

When the reporting verb is in the Present Tense, the tenses of the Direct Speech do not change. So, ‘is’ will not be changed to ‘was’.$

This rule is observed in Option 3.$

The other options are incorrect as they violate this rule of grammar.$

Options 1 and 2 are wrong as they change the tense of the reporting verb itself (‘said’ and ‘is saying’ instead of ‘says’), which is incorrect.$

Option 4 is wrong as it changes the tense of the Direct Speech even when the reporting verb is in the Present Tense.$

In the following question, a sentence has been given in Direct/Indirect speech. Out of the four alternatives suggested, select the one which best expresses the same sentence in Indirect/Direct speech. Father says, "Kashmir is the heaven on earth".
