A Correct answer
Explanation

Five days ago, Thursday was the day after the day before yesterday. This means yesterday (5 days ago) was Thursday, so today (5 days ago) was Friday. Therefore today is Wednesday. From Wednesday, day after tomorrow is Friday. Three days before Friday is Tuesday. Sunday was 2 days ago (from today Wednesday, going back: Tuesday is 1 day ago, Monday is 2 days ago... wait, let me recalculate: Tuesday to Sunday is 2 days back).
