Choose the correct indirect (reported) speech for: He said, “Never tell a lie.”

Explanation

A negative command emphasized with ‘never’ is reported using a verb like ‘advised’ or ‘told,’ followed by an object, then ‘never to’ plus the base form of the verb, giving ‘advised me never to tell a lie.’ This structure keeps ‘never’ directly before the infinitive, preserving the original emphasis of the command.
