It should be C.
Total days in Dec 31.
4 complete weeks = 28
Three extra days.If month start with Monday then will end with Wednesday.

1) Four Tuesdays in Dec.
If the month start with Wednesday then there are 4 Tuesday.
And 4 Mondays
If Month start with Saturday there are 4 Tuesday and 5 mondays
Not sufficient.

2) Four Saturdays in Dec

Try with Wednesday and sunday
Same Logic again not sufficient.

Together they are sufficient.This is when month starts with Wednesday.

Ans C.
