Q. He said to her, "May you succeed!"

(A) He told her that she might succeed.
(B) He prayed to God that she may succeed.
(C) He wished her success.
(D) He said to her that she might succeed.

Correct Answer - Option(C)

Explanation by: Mr. Dubey

In direct speech, the statement "May you succeed!" expresses a wish for someone's success. When converting it to indirect speech, the verb "said" changes to "wished" to convey the act of expressing a wish. Therefore, the correct conversion is Option C: He wished her success.
