SOLUTION
This is an imperative sentence. In this sentence command of an order has been given. So, said used in direct speech will be changed to ‘urged’ in the indirect narration. The inverted commas will be removed and ‘to’ will be used before the main verb. The first person pronoun will be changed according to the subject of the reporting speech i.e. ‘my’ will be changed to ‘his’. Going by the following rules, option A is the correct answer.
