The teacher said, “Students, we live in deeds, not in years.”

The correct answer is C. The teacher said to the students that we live in deeds, not in years.

The teacher is addressing the students directly, so the verb “said” should be in the second person plural (“said to you”). The subject of the sentence is “the teacher,” so the pronoun “we” refers to the teacher and the students. The object of the sentence is “that we live in deeds, not in years,” so the verb “live” should be in the present tense.

The other options are incorrect because they do not use the correct verb tense or pronoun. Option A is incorrect because it uses the third person singular verb “said” instead
