The preferrable answer is answer number 2:He told me that he was my friend.
Explanation:
The verb told is more appropriate to use than the word said in directing a past statement to the read. Both answers convey the same meaning, although in terms of grammatical construction and correct word usage, the word “told" is applicable in the sentence.
Final answer:
he told me that he was my friend.
