- C. The teacher ordered Amna to watch her steps.
- D. The teacher requested Amna to watch your steps.
Explanation
The correct answer is: 'The teacher ordered Amna to watch her steps.' In indirect speech, the verb 'said' is typically changed to match the speaker's intention-in this case, 'ordered' is appropriate as the teacher is giving an instruction. Additionally, the possessive adjective should match the subject (Amna), so 'her' is used instead of 'your'. Other options either use incorrect pronouns or verbs that do not accurately reflect the speaker's intention.
