Step-by-Step Solution

2001–2200 is 200 years. Multiples of 4 from 2004 to 2200: 50, but 2100 and 2200 are not leap years (not divisible by 400), so 48 leap years. Odd days . Monday + 3 = Thursday. (Friday treats one of 2100 and 2200 as a leap year; Wednesday leaves out one leap year too many.)
Answer: B) Thursday
