Explanation:

- Option 1, "said her professors": This option suggests that the professors are the ones speaking. It reverses the subject and action needed in the statement.

- Option 2, "said to her professors": This option is grammatically incorrect. The verb "said" doesn't normally take an indirect object with "to" in this structure.

- Option 3, "told to her professors": This is incorrect because "told" is not used with the preposition "to" for direct speech and indirect objects.

- Option 4, "told her professors": This uses "told" correctly, where Minerva is the subject communicating directly to her professors.
