Show answer and explanation

Answer: B. The assistant offered to assist the manager with that complex data analysis the following day.

Correct Answer: b) The assistant offered to assist the manager with that complex data analysis the following day.
Explanation: When "shall" is used in a question to make an offer, it is best reported using the verb offered + to-infinitive rather than a literal "asked if he should". Also, tomorrow correctly changes to the following day and this changes to that.
