CorrectNot quiteAnswer C
Correct answer: C
Explanation
From 1 January to 31 December of an ordinary year is 364 days after the first day.
364 is exactly 52 weeks, so 31 December falls on the same weekday as 1 January: Friday.
Worth noting
Saturday comes from adding the year's 1 odd day; that odd day moves 1 January of the NEXT year, not 31 December of this one.
