Solution
The given sentence is a statement.
According
to the rules of narration and reporting, if the reporting verb is in
the present or future tense, the reported verb is not changed. The
reporting verb in the given sentence, 'says', is in the present
form.Therefore, the reported verb should be in the present tense. The
pronoun 'you' changes into 'I'.
Thus the complete sentence must be,
He says that I may have some pain for a few days.
Thus option D is the correct answer.
Options A,B,C are incorrect as they do not follow the rules of Narration and Reporting.
