- B. The speaker ordered be quiet and listen to his words.

Explanation
Option A is correct because it properly transforms the direct command into indirect speech. The reporting verb 'said' is replaced with 'ordered' to match the imperative nature of the original sentence. Additionally, the pronoun 'my' is correctly changed to 'his' to maintain consistency with the speaker's perspective. Option B is incorrect due to missing words that make the sentence incomplete. Option C incorrectly uses 'my' instead of 'his', failing to adjust the pronoun for indirect speech. Option D contains grammatical errors and uses the incorrect verb form 'order'.
