    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    It is a question which has been given in the indirect speech. Questions, when converted to indirect speech do not take the conjunction 'that'. The use of 'much' before 'long' is grammatically incorrect. It has to be 'for how long I had been' as given in option (A).
