Detailed explanation-1: -Hence, the correct answer will be-I said that I wanted to work for him/her/you.
Detailed explanation-2: -When using indirect or reported speech, the form changes. Usually indirect speech is introduced by the verb said, as in I said, Bill said, or they said. Using the verb say in this tense, indicates that something was said in the past. In these cases, the main verb in the reported sentence is put in the past.
Detailed explanation-3: -To convert direct speech to reported speech, we must change all the present tenses in the direct speech to the corresponding past tenses in the reported speech. Example: Fiona said, “You are late.”-Fiona said that I was late.
Detailed explanation-4: -Direct speech: I said “I’m hungry.” / I told him “I’m hungry.” Indirect speech: I said that I was hungry / I told him that I was hungry.
