Choose the correct indirect (reported) speech for: She said, “This book is mine.”

In indirect speech, the possessive pronoun ‘mine,’ referring to the original speaker, must change to match the third-person perspective of the report, becoming ‘hers.’ The demonstrative pronoun ‘this’ also changes to ‘that,’ following the same shift used for other statements reported from a different point of reference.
