Dear Student
If we look more closely to the definition of "Would" it suggests
1. Past tense of "will"
2. Indicating an action in the past that happened repeatedly and commonly
So his turning eighteen is not a repeated action neither its an action happened in past. He will turn 18.
So the correct answer is (a)
Thanks
