error in sentence

Hi,

Can you please help me in finding the error in the below?

She wishes that she has more time
A B C
to study computer programming.
D

I feel like it should be C i.e "has" but not sure why and what should be the correct sentence.

As per reported speech format "wishes" is present simple, hence after that "she has" is correct also. I am confused with present reported speech format.
