- C. He told me that he expected me to have attended the function.
- D. He told me that he expected me to attend the function.

After a past reporting verb, “expect” normally changes to “expected,” while the infinitive “to attend” remains unchanged. Thus, “He told me that he expected me to attend the function” is grammatically correct.
