Solution
The correct option is D Do your homework
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 D is correct as his/her father instructed him/her to do his/her work.
Options A, B, and C are wrong as 'you' is used unnecessarily, the given sentence is not negative, and 'I don't' gives a different meaning to the given sentence respectively.
The correct answer is A) Do your homework.
