Many students said “that they would love to have a salad bar in the school cafeteria.” “Many students said that they would love to have a salad bar in the school cafeteria.”

It is indirect so it would be the last option. “Many students said that they would love to have a salad bar in the school cafeteria”

The answer is

Many students said, “They would love to have a salad bar in the school cafeteria.”

Because it has correct capital letters, and the quotation marks are in the right place.

Hope this helped! :)
