    Direct speech- Direct speech, also known as quoted speech or direct quotation, is a way of reporting someone's exact words.
    Indirect speech- Indirect speech, also known as reported speech or indirect quotation, is a way of reporting someone's words or thoughts indirectly, without using their exact words.
    Rules for converting direct speech to indirect speech-
    · When the reporting verb of direct speech is in past tense then all the present tenses are changed to the corresponding past tense in indirect speech. 
    · Reporting verbs such as ‘said/ said to’ changes to said, told.
    · Comma inverted comma will be replaced with conjunction “That”.
    · The  first person in direct speech  changes as per the subject of the speech.
    · The  second person of direct speech  changes as per the object of reporting speech.
    · The  third person of direct speech  doesn’t change.
    This option correctly shifts the direct speech into indirect speech, changing "will" to "would" to reflect the future in the past context.
