CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. Each block of 100 years has 5 odd days, but the 400th year is a leap year, adding 1 odd day.

  2. Total =4×5+1=21= 4 \times 5 + 1 = 21, and 21 is a multiple of 7, so 0 odd days.

Worth noting

5 is the figure for 100 years. It is also why 400 years exactly bring the weekday back.
