Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: He said that he would go there the next day.

Explanation: ▪️The reporting verb (said) is in past tense → so the tense of the reported speech changes (will → would). ▪️Time expression (tomorrow) changes to (the next day). He said that I will go there tomorrow ❌: wrong pronoun and tense. He told that he shall go there tomorrow ❌: wrong reporting verb + tense. He said that he will go there after today ❌: unnatural and incorrect. He said that he would go there the next day ✅: correct transformation.
