Question:

Choose the correct indirect speech of the sentence: She said, "I have been waiting for the bus since morning."

She said that she had been waiting for the bus since morning.
2.
She said that she has been waiting for the bus since morning.
3.
She said that she was waiting for the bus since morning.
4.
She told that she had waited for the bus since morning.

Correct Answer: She said that she had been waiting for the bus since morning.

Present perfect continuous in direct speech changes to past perfect continuous in indirect speech, and "I" becomes "she". Option (b) fails to change the tense, (c) changes it wrongly to simple past continuous, and (d) uses "told" without an object and alters the meaning.
