Explanation

The correct answer is B: He will say, "My Brother will be take care of her."

The original sentence is indirect speech:

"He will say that his brother will take care of her."

To change it to direct speech, remove "that" and add quotation marks.

The correct verb form is "will be taking care", not "will be take care."

So, the properly corrected sentence is: "He will say, 'My Brother will be taking care of her.'"
