The headmistress says, “The young people of today are tomorrow’s leaders.” ( An hour later, you report her statement. )
Answer: B
Correct answer: The headmistress says that the young people of today are tomorrow’s leaders.
The reporting verb says is present, so nothing shifts: the tense stays, and so do today and tomorrow. Reporting an hour later does not change this - it is the tense of the reporting verb, not the passage of time, that triggers backshift.
