Answer: B) The captain said that the ship will leave in one hour.

Explanation: An indirect quotation is when the meaning but not the exact words of something someone spoke is referred to, they frequently begin with "that" or "if" and quotation marks are not used. So, from the given options, the one that represents an example of an indirect quotation is the corresponding to option B: The captain said that the ship will leave in one hour (notice the word "that" and that there are no quotation marks).
