- As the reported speech is in "imperative sentence" we need to make changes according to this. There will be a change in the reporting verb and it will be changed into "told".
- The inverted comma will be changed into "to".
- "you" will be changed into "I".
As all the rules are followed by the chosen option it will be correct.
