CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
2029 is the year just after a leap year (2028). Such a calendar repeats after 6 years.
Check: 2029–2034 contain one leap year (2032), so odd days , a multiple of 7.
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.
