B.

Mother asked me to enjoyed my vacation with my friends.

C.

Mother told me that you should enjoy your vacation with your friends.

D.

Mother told me that I will enjoy my vacation with my friends.

Correct option is A

The correct indirect speech is (a) Mother told me to enjoy my vacation with my friends.
Definition:
· Direct speech: Quoting the exact words spoken.
· Indirect speech: Reporting the content of the speech without quoting it directly.
Conversion Rule (Imperative Sentences):
Structure:
· Direct: Subject + said to + object + “base verb…”
· Indirect: Subject + told/asked + object + to + base verb…
Explanation:
"Enjoy your vacation…" is an imperative sentence (command/advice).
Hence, we convert “said to” into “told” and use “to enjoy…” to report the suggestion.
Example:
Direct: He said to her, “Be careful.”
Indirect: He told her to be careful.
