CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. 2029 is the year just after a leap year (2028). Such a calendar repeats after 6 years.

  2. Check: 2029–2034 contain one leap year (2032), so odd days =6+1=7= 6 + 1 = 7, a multiple of 7.

  3. 2035 is ordinary and starts on Monday, like 2029.

Worth noting

2040 uses the 11-year gap, which is for the second or third year after a leap year. 2052 begins on a Monday but is a leap year.
