Correct Answer: she would meet him tomorrow.
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
The segment that contains a grammatical error is: "she would meet him tomorrow."
In reported speech, the use of "would" is generally reserved for past-tense scenarios, indicating a conditional or indirect statement. In the sentence "she would meet him tomorrow," the reported speech is about a future event, and the correct construction should maintain the original future tense, resulting in "she will meet him tomorrow."
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Radha told her friends that she will discuss the project with her mentor when she will meet him tomorrow."
