Correct Answer: He tells Gayatri that she is writing an apology to the warden.
Solution : The correct answer is the second option.
Explanation : When transforming a direct speech sentence to indirect speech, we need to consider the changes in pronouns and tenses. In this case, the reporting verb "says" changes to "tells," and the pronouns shift from the second person ("you") to the third person ("she").
So, the correct sentence would be: He tells Gayatri that she is writing an apology to the warden.
