Model Answer

(A) Sahil asked Shekhar which his books were.

Explanation

In reported speech, a wh-question uses "asked" as the reporting verb, the question word is retained, pronouns change ("your" → "his"), and the verb follows statement word order (inverted question structure becomes normal: "were" comes after "his books"). Option A correctly applies all these rules.
