The rules for converting indirect to direct speech are as follows:
1. Use the reporting verb, "said".
2. Remove the conjunctions "that" and insert quotation marks.
3. Put a comma before the statement.
4. Change the past tense (didn't maintain) into present tense (don't maintain).
5. Change present conditional (would have) to simple future tense (will have).
6. Change the third person pronoun ‘they’ into second person pronoun ‘you’.
7. Change the third person pronoun ‘she’ into first person pronoun ‘I’.
Therefore, the sentence in direct Speech will be option C i.e. He said, The teacher said to the students, "If you don't maintain discipline, I'm afraid I'll have to report the matter to the principal."
