If 17 January 2001 was Wednesday, what day was it 739 days before?

Correct answer: Option C — Saturday. 739 = 105 complete weeks + 4 days. Moving before by 4 day(s) from Wednesday gives Saturday. Option A (Sunday) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error. Option B (Monday) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error. Option D (Wednesday) is rejected because it does not equal the computed result; it represents a counting, direction, leap-year, interval, or hand-motion error.
