Choose the correct sentence based on the use of "that" in reported speech and interrogative clauses.

AHe asked me that where I stayed.
BHe said that, "It is none of my business."
CHe asked me where I stayed.
DHe asked that what the time was.
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. He asked me where I stayed.
"That" is not used before clauses beginning with interrogative words like "where" or "what." Also, in direct speech, we do not say "He said that, \"...\"." Therefore, "He asked me where I stayed" is the correct sentence.
