Correct answer: C
1. Break down the year: 2024 means 2023 completed years + months of 2024 up to 20th November. 2000 years have 0 odd days. 2. Calculate odd days for the next 23 years (2001 to 2023): There are 5 leap years (23 ÷ 4) and 18 ordinary years (23 - 5). Odd days = (5 × 2) + (18 × 1) = 10 + 18 = 28. Since 28 is fully divisible by 7, remainder is 0 odd days. 3. Calculate odd days for months in 2024 (a leap year) up to Nov 20: Jan(3) + Feb(1) + Mar(3) + Apr(2) + May(3) + Jun(2) + Jul(3) + Aug(3) + Sep(2) + Oct(3) + Nov(20) = 45 days. 4. Final calculation: 45 odd days ÷ 7 gives a remainder of 3. According to the day code (0=Sun, 1=Mon, 2=Tue, 3=Wed), 3 corresponds to Wednesday. Final Answer: Option C
