Select the correct indirect form of the given sentence.

He said to me, “What a pity! You missed the party.”

He exclaimed that it was a pity I had missed the party.

The correct indirect form of the given sentence is:

He exclaimed that it was a pity I had missed the party.

The other options are incorrect:

• He told to me that it was a pity I had missed the party. This is incorrect because we do not use the preposition "to" after the reporting verb "said".
• He exclaimed what a pity it was that you missed the party. This is also correct, but it is less natural than using the pronoun "I" in this context.
• He exclaimed that it was a pity you missed the party. This is also correct, but it is less formal than using the word "exclaimed".
