Direct speech reconstruction (exclamatory): Choose the correctly punctuated direct statement that matches the reported sentence. Reported sentence: He exclaimed with joy that India had won the Sahara Cup. Choose the correct option.

Given data

• Reported (indirect) sentence: He exclaimed with joy that India had won the Sahara Cup.
• Task: Recover the most natural direct speech form.

Concept/ApproachExclamations of joy in indirect speech ('exclaimed with joy') typically reflect an interjection like Hurrah! in direct speech. Backshift: indirect 'had won' corresponds to direct present perfect 'has won' when reporting a recent victory.

Option analysisA lacks the exclamation of joy.B uses simple past ('won') which does not neatly explain the backshift to 'had won'.C changes meaning (future).D correctly includes the interjection and the present perfect: 'Hurrah! … has won.'

Final AnswerHe said, 'Hurrah! India has won the Sahara Cup.'
