Explanation:
The correct answer is option 2 i.e the police officer said that he did not know that person and she had never been seen there. Explanation: The given sentence is in direct mode of narration. The reporting verb is in past indefinite tense and the reported speech is in simple present tense and simple past tense. When we convert this sentence from direct to indirect narration we have to make the following changes. Since the reporting verb is in simple past tense, all the verbs of reported speech will undergo a backshift of tense. Simple present tense "do not" is changed to simple past tense "did not" Narration means to report speech. Narration is of two types- Direct speech and Indirect speech. Correct sentence- The police officer said that he did not know that person and she had never been seen there.
