The teacher commanded him that he should not go out.
The teacher told him do not go out.
The teacher ordered him to not to go out.

Explanation:

The correct option is (A) though it could have been expressed better: the teacher asked him not to …. The teacher instructed him not to ….. the teacher urged him not to…; the teacher ordered him not to ….; the teacher instructed him not to …. The teacher urged him not to ….
