Choose the correct indirect (reported) speech for: He said, “I do not like coffee.”

Explanation

Negative statements follow the same backshifting rules as positive statements in indirect speech, so the present simple negative ‘do not like’ shifts back to the past simple negative ‘did not like.’ The pronoun ‘I’ also changes to ‘he,’ since the sentence is now reporting what he said about his own preference.
