Correct answer: C

To determine the correct day, let's break down the problem step by step.

Step-by-Step Analysis
Identify the day of the 7th:

The problem states the 7th day is "three days earlier than Friday."

Counting back three days from Friday:

1 day earlier: Thursday

2 days earlier: Wednesday

3 days earlier: Tuesday

So, the 7th is a Tuesday.

Calculate the day difference:

We need to find the day for the 19th.

The difference in days is: 19 - 7 = 12 days.

Find the day of the week for the 19th:

There are 7 days in a week. To find how the day shifts, divide 12 by 7:

12 / 7 = 1 week with a remainder of 5 days.

This means the 19th falls 5 days after the 7th.

Starting from Tuesday, count forward 5 days:

Tuesday + 1 = Wednesday

Tuesday + 2 = Thursday

Tuesday + 3 = Friday

Tuesday + 4 = Saturday

Tuesday + 5 = Sunday
