    Solution

    Reported or indirect speech is  usually used to talk about the past, so we normally change the tense of the words spoken . We use reporting verbs like 'say', 'tell', 'ask', and we may use the word 'that' to introduce the reported words. Inverted commas are not used. According to this the given option is most appropriate one.
