Correct answer: B
From 3 December 1999 to 3 January 2000 is exactly 31 days (December has 31 days, so counting from the 3rd of one month to the 3rd of the next gives 31 days). Dividing 31 by 7 gives 4 complete weeks and a remainder of 3 odd days. Starting from Sunday and moving forward 3 days: Sunday → Monday → Tuesday → Wednesday. Therefore, 3 January 2000 falls on Wednesday.
