C Correct answer
Explanation

Starting from Tuesday, let's decode each step: 'day after tomorrow' from Tuesday = Thursday. 'One week after Thursday' = next Thursday. 'Three days before next Thursday' = Monday (since Monday is 3 days before Thursday). Joe's confusing memo actually specifies Monday of the following week.
