Correct answer: C

Explanation:

Given that 8th Nov 2007 is Thursday.

  1. Determine if 2007 is a leap year: 2007 is an ordinary (non-leap) year.

  2. An ordinary year causes a shift of 1 odd day between the same dates in consecutive years. That means the weekday moves forward by one day when going from 2006 to 2007, or equivalently one day earlier when going from 2007 back to 2006.

  3. So, the weekday on 8th Nov 2006 is one day before Thursday, which is Wednesday.
