Answer: c. Jane said to me, “ I waited for my friend.”
Explanation:
Direct speech is meant to report the things said by a person in the exact way that they said it.
One reason option A is wrong is that Jane said she had waited for the friend which made it past tense but in option A she was using a future continuous tense.
One reason option B is wrong is that it made it seem as though Jane was waiting for the speaker's friend not her own. For this same reason option D is wrong as well.
Option C is correct because it properly converts the indirect speech used by the speaker to direct speech.
A. Whether or not something is considered good or bad
B. Whether or not something is a fact or an opinion
C. Whether or not something caused an event to happen
D. Whether or not something should or should not happen
