Answer 1

The correct answer is Option 4.

Key Points

The sentence is in the past tense, which means the reported speech should also be in the past tense.
Option 1 is incorrect because it maintains the present tense "here" instead of changing it to "there".
Option 2 is incorrect because it uses the present tense "am" instead of the past tense "was".
Option 3 is incorrect because "wants" is in the present tense.
Option 4 correctly changes the tense to the past and maintains the appropriate sequence of tenses.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

Correct Sentence: "She wanted to know what I was doing here."

Additional Information

Reporting Speech: In reported speech, the present tense changes to the past tense.
Time Expressions: Words indicating time and place (like "here") often change (to "there") in reported speech.
Sequence of Tenses: Ensuring the consistency of tenses is crucial for grammatical correctness.
No Error: This would be the correct option if there were no mistakes in the sentence, but here, the tense must be correctly aligned.
