The given sentence is in direct speech because it quotes actual words. Therefore, it must be changed into indirect speech.
To convert interrogative sentences into indirect speech, follow the following rules along with the above-mentioned rules:
• The reporting verb ‘said’ is changed to ‘asked’.
• If the reporting speech is having the reporting verb 'is' at it its start, 'if' is used in place of that.
• The present tense (is) is changed to the past tense (was).
• The sentence is change to assertive form (Subject+verb).
• In reported speech, the first person pronoun (me) do not change if the reporting verb refers to first person pronouns. Hence, 'me' will be used as it is.
• A full stop is placed at the end of the sentence instead of a mark of interrogation.
Therefore, the sentence in Indirect Speech will be option A i.e. I asked the postman if there was a letter for me.
