Solution

The correct option is B My father told us that we should study and get a good grade in the examination.
The given sentence is an suggestion.
In the indirect speech 'told' may be used for 'said to'.
According to the rules of Narration and Reporting, in a proposal or suggestion sentence 'should' is used before the reported verb. Since, should takes the basic form of the main verb, 'study' and 'get' remains unchanged. The first person in the direct speech is changed to the person of the speaker. Therefore 'you' is changed to 'we'.
Thus option D is the correct answer.
Options A,B,,C are incorrect as they do not follow the rules of Narration and Reporting.
