    D Anurag says, “I would like to be an electronics engineer when I grow up.” Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    It maintains the pronoun "I" to refer to Anurag himself and uses the conditional form "would like" to express his preference for becoming an electronics engineer in the future. The verb tenses and pronouns are correctly aligned between the reported speech and the direct speech.
