Explanation
When converting the direct speech, "She said, 'Let there be no ill will,'" into indirect speech, it is important to maintain the mood of the original sentence. The original sentence uses 'let' to express a wish or command, which in indirect speech is best conveyed by 'should' after a verb like 'wished'. Therefore, the correct option is "She wished that there should be no ill will." Other options either use incorrect grammar or punctuation, hence they do not accurately reflect the original sentence's meaning in indirect speech.
