Explanation

Indirect questions embedded in statements use normal word order (subject-verb), not inverted word order. 'The teacher asked what his name was' follows the correct structure: main clause 'The teacher asked' followed by the indirect question 'what his name was' with subject-verb order. Options A and C incorrectly use question word order.
