The correct answer is Option 3)

Key Points

  • In indirect speech, the tense of the verb changes. The past simple tense 'visited' changes to past perfect tense 'had visited'.
  • Time expressions also change in indirect speech. 'Last week' changes to 'the previous week'.
  • The pronoun 'I' remains the same as it is the speaker's own action being reported.

Hence, the correct answer is option 3
