D.Charu told her friend that she will want her to be here at 6.00 p.m. the next day for the meeting
Explanation
In converting direct speech to indirect speech, present tense changes to past ('want' becomes 'wanted'), 'here' changes to 'there', and 'tomorrow' changes to 'the next day'. The pronoun 'you' becomes 'her' (referring to the friend). Therefore, option (a) correctly applies all these transformations.
