  • C.The employer forbade the workman to pay higher wages .
  • D.The employer warned the workman that he cannot pay him higher wages.

Answer: B

Correct answer: The employer told the workman that he could not pay him higher wages.

Cannot becomes could not, I becomes he, and you becomes him. The passive option reverses who cannot pay whom, and forbade misreads a statement of inability as a prohibition.
