option D is the right answer according to rules of narration for imparative sentences:
Narration change of imperative sentence
We change the “Reporting Verb” of direct speech into indirect speech according to the tense at the time of narration change. I have mentioned the reporting verb below.
Imperative Sentence
|
Direct |
Indirect |
|
Say |
Order/request/advise/command |
|
[,] |
Aff- to Neg- not to |
When we change the reported speech of imperative sentences, we use “Order/ request/ advise/ command” instead of “Say/ Say to”. Then we use “To” for affirmative sentences and “Not to” for negative sentences instead of comma marks.
