    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    In the rule of Imperative Sentence (Order or Request)- Remove the quotation mark in an Imperative sentence. Don't use 'that'. Omit the word 'please'. Use the word 'request' instead of 'say?. If the direct speech contains a request or a command, the reporting verb (say, said) change to tell, request, order, command etc. In its correct tense.
