2. B. He asked me have I done my homework.

4. D. He asked me whether had I done my homework.

Detailed Solution & Explanation

Key Points

• Reporting a yes/no question uses 'if/whether' and shifts the tense back: present perfect 'Have you done' → past perfect 'had done', with 'you' → 'I' and statement word order (no inversion).
• Option A applies all three rules; the others keep the question word order or fail to backshift the tense — the hallmarks of an incorrectly reported question.
