Correct Answer: what I am reading
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
The error lies in the verb tense. Since the main clause is in the past tense, the subordinate clause should also be in the past tense to maintain grammatical consistency.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: My cousin, Jawahar, visited me at home and asked me what I was reading.
