C Correct answer
Explanation

The given sentence is in future tense. 'Shall' will be changed to 'would'. In indirect speech the reporting verb ‘said to’ is changed to ‘told’. The inverted commas are replaced by using conjunction - that. The pronoun ‘I’ will be changed to she as it refers to ‘Alka’ and 'tonight' will be changed to 'that night'. The correct option is 3.
