Explanation:
This is a reported (indirect) question. In indirect questions:

We use normal statement word order, not question word order.

We often introduce the question with "if" or "whether" when the answer is yes or no.

So:

Direct question: "Can I meet you later?"

Reported (indirect) question: "Jane asked James if she could meet him later."

Why the other options are incorrect:
A. whether could she meet him later – incorrect word order for indirect questions.

B. could she meet him later – same issue; this is still in question form, not suitable for indirect speech.

D. she could meet him later – missing the introductory word ("if" or "whether").

E. that she could meet him later – “that” is not used for questions; it’s for statements.
