Explanation:

- Jill originally said, “Jack must give his answer to me.” The task is to convert this direct speech to indirect speech.

- Option 1: "Jill said that Jack must give his answer to me."

- Incorrect. It doesn’t change "must" to "had to," and "me" should change to "her."

- Option 2: "Jill said that Jack had to give his answer to me."

- Incorrect. While "must" is changed correctly, “me” should be changed to “her."

- Option 3: "Jill said that Jack had to give his answer to her."

- Correct. "Must" correctly changes to "had to," and "me" to "her."

- Option 4: "Jill said that Jack must give her answer to him."

- Incorrect. This alters the meaning entirely by changing “his answer” to "her answer" and "me" to "him."
