Solution

The correct option is B Eliza said to James that she would go to school the next day.
Indirect Speech is used to report something in our own words.
To change future tense in indirect speech, remove inverted commas and use 'that' as a conjunction.
Both shall and will normally become would. 'Tomorrow' is changed to 'the next day'.
Thus, option B is the correct answer according to the rules.
