Answer: A
Source: Official guide
The period from November 16, 2001 to November 16, 2014 is 13 years.
If we ignore the leap years, the total number of days during that period = (13)(365)
Since 3 of the years during that period had 1 extra day, the TOTAL number of days during the given period = (13)(365) + 3

Important: Although we COULD evaluate (13)(365) + 3 to get 4749, we can save ourselves a bit of time by making a few observations

Notice that 364 is a multiple of 7. In fact 364 = (7)(52)
So, (13)(365) + 3 = (13)(364 + 1) + 3
= (13)(364) + (13)(1) + 3
= (13)(364) + 16
= (13)(364) + 14 + 2
= 7[(13)(52) + 2] + 2

Since 7[(13)(52) + 2] is a multiple of 7, we know that after 7[(13)(52) + 2] days, the day will be FRIDAY
So, after 7[(13)(52) + 2] + 1 days, the day will be SATURDAY
And after 7[(13)(52) + 2] + 2 days, the day will be SUNDAY

Answer: A

Cheers,
Brent

Solution:

We see that there is a 13-year span from November 16, 2001 to November 6, 2014. If each year were 365 days, the total number of days in this 13-year span would be 365 x 13 = 4,745 days. However, since 3 of the years during this span each has 1 extra day, the actual number of days in this span is 4,745 + 3 = 4,748 days. Since 4,748/7 = 678 R 2, we know that there were 678 weeks and 2 days from Friday, November 16, 2001 until November 16, 2014. The remainder of 2 tells us that November 16, 2014 was 2 days after Friday, so it was Sunday.
