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. The tense of indirect speech will not change in case of the future tense.
Both shall and will normally become would. Thus, option B is the correct answer according to the rules.
