Reported Speech:

• The reported or indirect form of speech is where the exact dialogue or words expressed by the narrator are not used. It is the narration done in the third person and hence the subject will turn into the second person singular.
• Thus, it won't have the dialogue in inverted commas as such, as the subject changed to the third person in this example while reporting this dialogue.
• In most of the simple past tense cases the verb changes to the past perfect tense form, but here the verb is in past continuous form, hence there will be no change in the tense.
• So, option (b) which is the past perfect tense form of the sentence would become as an incorrect and invalid option.
