Explanation:

Reported speech - The speaker's words are reported in the subordinate clauses governed by reporting verbs and making the changes required in tense or person.

The two types of reported speech are -

• Direct reported speech - Here, we use speaker's words which are quoted within the inverted commas in present tense.
• Indirect reported speech - Here, we use a past tense and make changes in the sentence whenever required.

The given question is in the form of direct reported speech.
