Answer: B. where I lived

Answer: B) where I lived
Explanation: When converting a question into indirect speech, the sentence loses its interrogative format and becomes an assertive statement. Therefore, the word order changes back to Subject + Verb (I lived) instead of Verb + Subject (did I). Additionally, the conjunction that is never used before wh-words.
