Answer

C

Explanation

Rani told me that a monkey had bitten her in the park. (Correct)
(a) Rani `ul("asked")` me if a monkey `ul("bit")` me in the park. (Incorrect reported verb and tense)
(b) Rani told me that a monkey bit `ul("me")` in the park. (Change of reported speech to simple present is incorrect and incorrect pronoun.)
