The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported).
In the direct speech, the exact words of the original speaker are repeated.
In the indirect speech (reported speech), the exact meaning of what the speaker told is expressed but not necessarily in the speaker’s exact words.
Option C is correct as 'he' instructed him to not to (which becomes 'Don't') touch the wire,
Options A, B, and D are wrong as 'I' gives the sentence a different meaning, the given sentence is negative, and the given sentence is not in the simple past tense respectively
The correct answer is C)Don't touch the wire.
