Model Answer

(A) My sister told me that she had washed her new dress.

Explanation

When reporting a statement, the reporting verb "told" is used (not "asked" or "replied to"). The present perfect "have washed" shifts to past perfect "had washed," and the pronoun "my" changes to "her" to match the subject. Options B, C, and D contain incorrect tense forms and wrong reporting verbs.
