Answer:

The two ways of relating what a person has said are 1)direct and 2)indirect (reported).

In the direct speech, the exact words of the original speaker are repeated.

In the indirect speech (reported speech), the exact meaning of what the speaker told is expressed but not necessarily in the speaker’s exact words.

Option A is correct as the question in the inverted commas is in the simple future tense, and so, 'would' is used, 'tomorrow' is transformed to 'the next day', and the appropriate introductory verb 'asked' is used.

Options B, C, and D are wrong as 'tomorrow' cannot be used as it is, 'the appropriate conjunction is not used, and 'you' is not transformed respectively.

The correct answer is A)He asked if she would be there the next day.
