Solution

The correct option is C To come to his party

The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported speech).In direct speech, the original speaker's exact words are repeated. In indirect/reported speech, the exact meaning is expressed but not necessarily using the original speaker's exact words. Pronouns and possessive adjectives usually change from first or second person to the third person except when the speaker is reporting his own words. Sometimes a noun can be inserted to avoid doubt.

When we turn direct questions and exclamations into indirect speech, they are converted to affirmative statement .( ? and ! is not used).

Option D is correct as the given direct question doesn't begin with a question word and would is used, so when the introductory verb invited is used, to + infinitive construction is used. And also my is changed to his.

The other options are wrong as she'd like, my, and if can't be used.

The correct answer is D)To come to his party
