    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    100 years contain 5 odd days.

     Last day of 1st century is Friday.

    200 years contain (5 x 2)  3 odd days.

     Last day of 2nd century is Wednesday.

    300 years contain (5 x 3) = 15  1 odd day.

     Last day of 3rd century is Monday.

    400 years contain 0 odd day.

     Last day of 4th century is Sunday.

    This cycle is repeated.

     Last day of a century cannot be Tuesday or Thursday or Saturday.
