The best structure of the sentence for this question would be:

When Andrew was in high school, he told me that his uncle was a World War II veteran.

This is because all the other choices had a confusing way of squeezing in Andrew or the Uncle, but mostly the mention of the "uncle" had confused the other sentences a bit. This one is clear and concise and it flows naturally.
