Change the following statement to direct speech :

He asked me what I wanted.

He said to me, "What I want?"

He said to me, "What do you want ?"

He said to me, "What he wants ?"

He said to me, "What will you want ?"

✅ Correct Option: 2

Converting indirect to direct speech reverses the usual transformations. He asked me becomes He said to me. The reported clause what I wanted becomes the original question with present tense and second person: What do you want? Question mark and quotes are restored. Only option 2 makes all these changes correctly.
