Correct answer: D

A leap year's calendar returns after 28 years, as long as no non-leap century year (like 2100) falls in between.
$2032 + 28 = 2060$ , which is also a leap year starting on the same day (Thursday).

Worth noting

2037 begins on the same weekday as 2032 but is not a leap year, so its dates drift by one day after February. 2043 uses the 11-year gap meant for ordinary years.
