The original sentence, "He asked that what is your name," contains two common errors related to indirect questions. Firstly, when forming an indirect question using a 'wh-' word (like 'what', 'where', 'when', 'why'), we do not use the conjunction 'that'. The 'wh-' word itself acts as the connector. Secondly, in an indirect question, the word order changes from the direct question's inverted structure (verb-subject) to a statement-like structure (subject-verb). So, "what is your name" (direct question) becomes "what your name is" (indirect question). Applying these rules, the correct sentence eliminates 'that' and reverses the subject-verb order. Therefore, "He asked what your name is" is the grammatically correct option. Options like "He asked what is your name" retain the direct question's word order, while "He asked that what was your name" incorrectly includes 'that' and changes the tense unnecessarily. "He asked what was your name" changes the tense without necessity, as the original question implies present tense.
