Explanation:

- The original sentence is in indirect speech: "I warned her that I could no longer tolerate her coming late."

- Option 1: "I said to her, 'He can no longer tolerate her coming late.'"

- This involves a different subject ("He" instead of "I"), which changes the meaning.

- Option 2: "I said to her, 'You can no longer tolerate my coming late.'"

- This reverses the roles and subjects, confusing the speaker and listener.

- Option 3: "I said to her, 'I can no longer tolerate your coming late.'"

- This accurately converts the indirect sentence to direct speech.

- Option 4: "I said to her, 'I can no longer tolerate she coming late.'"

- Incorrect grammatical structure ("she" should be "her” for direct object).
