B. he would start the next day.

When reporting a statement in indirect speech, you generally change the tense of the reporting verb to the past and adjust the tense of the reported statement accordingly. In reported speech, "today" usually changes to "that day" or "the same day. "Tomorrow" changes to "the next day" or "the following day". "Yesterday" changes to "the day before" or "the previous day."
