Explanation:

- The direct speech "Ravi said to the judge, 'I did not commit this crime.'" needs to be converted to indirect speech.

- Option 1: Saying "he had not committed the crime" correctly changes the tense but uses "the crime" instead of "that crime."

- Option 2: Incorrect because it uses "did not committed," which is grammatically incorrect.

- Option 3: "Ravi said to the judge that he had not committed that crime" correctly changes the tense and uses "that crime" to refer back.

- Option 4: Uses "this crime" instead of "that crime" which in indirect speech we normally convert "this" to "that."
