The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Calculate the Total Days
From 8th November 2016 (Tuesday) to 8th December 2017, the time span includes 1 year and 1 month. - 1 year (from 8th Nov 2016 to 8th Nov 2017) consists of 365 days (since 2017 is not a leap year). - 1 month (from 8th Nov 2017 to 8th Dec 2017) has 30 days. Total days in this duration: \[ 365 + 30 = 395 \text{ days} \] Step 2: Find the Extra Days Beyond Full Weeks
Since a week has 7 days, we divide: \[ 395 \div 7 = 56 \text{ weeks with a remainder of } 3 \] This means that after 56 complete weeks, there are 3 extra days. 

Step 3: Determine the Final Day of the Week
Since 8th November 2016 was a Tuesday, adding 3 extra days: - Wednesday (1 day later) - Thursday (2 days later) - Friday (3 days later) Thus, 8th December 2017 falls on a Friday.
