Explanation
In reported speech, when the reporting verb is in the past tense, the verb in the reported clause usually changes to a corresponding past tense. In this case, “will” changes to “would.” Additionally, pronouns are adjusted to maintain the correct perspective. The original sentence is: “ They will hurt you. ” When converting this to reported speech: “ He says ” becomes “ He said ” (past tense). “ will ” changes to “ would .” “ you ” changes to “ me ” because the person reporting the speech is the one being spoken to. So, “ They will hurt you ” becomes “ He said to me that they would hurt me. ” Therefore, the correct option is: D. He said to me that they would hurt me.
