      Solution

      Reported or indirect speech isΒ  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. So this is the most appropriate option.
