• B. Arya and I told our coach that we should participate in the swimming championship.
• C. Our coach told Arya and me that I should rest well before the swimming championship.
• D. Our coach told Arya and me that we should be ready for the swimming championship.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Our coach told Arya and me that we should rest well before the swimming championship.

Both sentences tell us that the speaker’s coach said to the speaker and ‘Arya’ that they should rest well before the swimming championship.The pronoun ‘you’ in direct speech changes to ‘we’ in reported speech because the speaker is referring to ‘Arya’ and the reporter together.
