C My father warned me not to have talked to my mother like that. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D My father warns me not to have talked to my mother like that. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

Since ‘said’ is mentioned in the sentence, the past form of the verb should be used in the reported speech. So, ‘warned’ should be used. Also, ‘don’t talk’ changes to ‘not to talk’.
