Answer: Option B
16th July, 1776 = (1775 years + Period from 1st Jan., 1776 to 16th July, 1776)
Counting of odd days :

75 years = (18 leap years + 57 ordinary years)
= [(18 x 2) + (57 x 1)] odd days = 93 odd days
= (13 weeks + 2 days) = 2 odd days.
∴ 1775 years have (0 + 5 + 2) odd days = 7 odd days = 0 odd day.
