D Correct answer
Explanation

The year 2052 is a leap year. Calculating from a known anchor like January 1, 2026 (Thursday), the 26-year difference includes 6 leap days (in 2028, 2032, 2036, 2040, 2044, 2048), resulting in 32 odd days. Since 32 modulo 7 is 4, adding 4 days to Thursday yields Monday.
