The correct answer is 'didn't like'.

  • In the underlined segment, the use of the present tense form of the verb 'don't' is incorrect.
  • The given sentence is in the past perfect tense, the past perfect tense is for talking about something that happened before something else.
  • Therefore, the past tense form of the verb 'didn't' should be used in place of the present tense form of the verb 'don't'.
     

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Correct Sentence: My friend told me that she didn’t like the movie that I had asked her to watch.
