C) Joh said that he had seen the cuttest girl at the bowling aleey that day.

Answer 1

C) Joh said that he had seen the cuttest girl at the bowling alley that day.

É necessário fazer o backshift, i.e., passar o verbo principal da oração original para um tempo anterior. É preciso também fazer o mesmo com os advérbios de tempo. Sendo assim, "saw" vira "had seen" e "today", "that day".
