B Correct answer
Explanation

From January 5 to December 12, 2016 (a leap year with 366 days), we count 342 days. When we divide 342 by 7, we get 48 weeks and 6 days remainder. Since January 5, 2016 is a Saturday, adding 6 days gives us Friday. The calculation: January (26 remaining) + February (29) + March through November (275) + December (12) = 342 days. 342 mod 7 = 6. Saturday + 6 = Friday.
