Correct answer: A
Solution
The correct indirect form is: Suman said that she would go to a new school the next day.
Key points
Remove the quotation marks and comma; introduce the reporting clause with the connector 'that' when needed.
Change personal pronouns as required by the new subject: 'I' (speaker in direct speech) becomes 'she' (Suman).
Shift the tense because the reporting verb is in the past: 'will' (future) becomes 'would' (future-in-past).
Change time expressions accordingly: 'tomorrow' becomes 'the next day'.
Assemble the sentence using these changes.
Final sentence: Suman said that she would go to a new school the next day.
