Correct answer: (D) Monday
Explanation
28 May 2007 fell on a Monday.
Odd days = odd days of 2000 years + years 2001 to 2006 + days of 2007.
2000 years give 0; 2001 to 2006 have 5 ordinary + 1 leap = 5 + 2 = 7, i.e. 0 odd days.
Days to 28 May = 31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 28 = 148, and 148 / 7 leaves 1.
Total odd days = 1, which counts to Monday.
