Answer:

B. I am

Read Explanation:

Corrected Sentence: "He told me that I was an intelligent girl." When reporting speech in the past (e.g., "He told me"), the verb tense usually shifts back. Since "told" is in the past tense, "am" should change to "was" to maintain consistency in the past tense.
