Select the option that expresses the given sentence in indirect speech.The principal said, "A biometric device will be installed from the next week."

When converting from direct speech to indirect speech, we observe the following rules:The reporting verb "said" is in the past tense, so the tense inside the inverted commas changes.The modal verb "will" changes into "would".The time phrase "the next week" changes to "the following week".The conjunction "that" removes the quotation marks.Applying these rules, "from the next week" becomes "from the following week", making Option C the correct choice. Option A includes an unnecessary typographical error ("the for following week").
