We can create a timeline here. Note: Jason returns to the bank \(100\) days later. This cycle starts on Wednesday.

\(1=\) Wed
\(2 =\) Thu
\(3=\) Friday
\(4 =\) Sat
\(5=\) Sun
\(6=\) Mon
\(7 =\) Tue

\(100\) days can be coverts as follows

\(= 14 \cdot 7 + 2 = 100\) days.

So, the 98th day will be Tuesday, the last day of the cycle but we need to add 2 more days.

So, Tue + Wed + Thursday.

Therefore, D

Solution:

Note that 7 days after he deposits the money, it is again Tuesday, and every number of days that is a multiple of 7 will again be Tuesday. Thus, we see that 7 x 14 = 98 days later it is a Tuesday. Thus, the 99th day is Wednesday, and the 100th day is Thursday.

Answer: D
