My father said to me, "You must work hard".

  • A.My father said to me that I must work hard.
  • B.My father said to me that you must work hard.
  • C.My father said to me that you have to work hard.
  • D.My father said to me that I had to work hard.

Answer: D

Correct answer: My father said to me that I had to work hard

You in the direct speech refers to the speaker of the report, so it becomes I. Must has no past form of its own, so after a past reporting verb it is replaced by had to. The options keeping you leave the sentence addressed to the wrong person.
