1. A. He wished his teacher good night sir.
2. B. He respectfully wished his teacher good night.
3. C. He respectfully bids his teacher good night.
4. D. He respectfully bade his teacher good night. (Correct answer)

Correct Answer

Option D — He respectfully bade his teacher good night.

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is He respectfully bade his teacher good night.

Key Points

• Greetings and farewells in direct speech are reported with wish/bid, and the word "sir" is conveyed by the adverb respectfully rather than repeated.
• The reporting verb said is past, so bid must become the past form bade, not *bids*.

Additional Information

• "Good morning" → *wished him good morning*; "Goodbye" → *bade him goodbye*; "Thank you" → *thanked*.
