- Option 1: I requested my girlfriend to select one of those rings.

- This is correct. "Said to" changes to "requested" to indicate a polite request, and "these" becomes "those" due to indirect speech.

- Option 2: I said to my girlfriend to please select one of these rings.

- Incorrect. Direct quotes are not used in indirect speech, and tense shift is not done properly.

- Option 3: I told my girlfriend to please select one of those rings.

- Incorrect. "Told" is not the best choice for conveying a request.

- Option 4: I pleaded to my girlfriend to select one of those ring.
