Solution

The correct option is D David told Anna that Mona would leave for her native place the next day
If reporting verb is in past, then while converting from direct speech to indirect speech, "will" becomes "would" and "tomorrow" becomes "the next day".

Hence, the indirect speech is
David told Anna that Mona would leave for her native place the next day.
