Step-by-Step Solution

Every month contains four complete weeks (28 days) plus a few spare days, and only the spare days give a weekday its fifth appearance. Three weekdays appear five times, so the month must have 31 days, and the three spare days must be its first three days — Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. So the 1st is a Monday, and the Mondays fall on 1, 8, 15, 22, 29. Counting on from Monday the 22nd: 23 Tuesday, 24 Wednesday, 25 Thursday. The trap Wednesday comes from stopping at the 24th, and Friday from starting the count at the 22nd itself.
Answer: C) Thursday
