CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. 75=10×7+575 = 10 \times 7 + 5, so 75 days back is the same weekday as 5 days back.

  2. 5 days before Thursday: Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday, Sunday, Saturday.

Worth noting

Tuesday moves 5 days FORWARD from Thursday. Going back 5 is the same as going forward 2, which lands on Saturday.
