The correct option that displays the correct change of the sentence to reported speech is:
B. Sunitha asked Venkat how much the rent for his flat was.
In reported speech, we often use the structure: reporting verb + question word + subject + verb + (rest of the sentence). The correct sequence is "how much the rent for his flat was" to maintain the correct word order and tense shift.
