Answer:

The doctor wanted to know when I last took my temperature.

Explanation:

Reported Speech or indirect speech uses the past tense & is commonly used when a person wants to convey what another person told without using it's direct form.

In direct speech, the person who conveys the message quotes the person in first person narrative & narrates by using the direct form.

There's a noticeable change of tense when you shift from reported to direct speech & vice versa.

Here's another example for you:

In direct speech: Tommy said, "Dave, did you know that Jane is coming back?"

In indirect speech: Tommy asked Dave if he knew that  

Jane was coming back.

Here, we use past tense when we change to past tense (is - was, know - knew). We also change the narrative (you - he).
