Giải thích

Khi biến đổi câu trực tiếp sang câu gián tiếp, ta phải biến đổi ngôi, thời thì, và các thành phần trạng từ. Cụ thể: you => he ( theo Mr. Jenkins);

were => had been ( thì của động từ phải lùi về một thì, tức quá khứ đơn giản chuyển thành quá khứ hoàn thành);

last night => the previous night ( tối trước) hoặc the night before.

Như vậy, đáp án đúng là D.
