B Correct answer
Explanation

Only 'said to' is changed to 'tell'; 'said' remains unchanged and is followed by 'that'. If the reporting verb (he said) is in past tense and the reported verb is in present tense, reported speech (while changing narration) converts into past (had). Subject 'I' becomes 'he' and possessive determiner 'my' becomes 'his'. Hence, option 2.
