The correct answer is Option (3) → Friday
Count backwards year by year:
- March 1, 2006 $\rightarrow$ March 1, 2005: 2005 is not a leap year, so move back 1 day.
- Wednesday $\rightarrow$ Tuesday
- March 1, 2005 $\rightarrow$ March 1, 2004: 2004 is a leap year, but since we're comparing March 1 to March 1, the leap day (Feb 29, 2004) is included, so move back 2 days.
- Tuesday $\rightarrow$ Sunday
- March 1, 2004 $\rightarrow$ March 1, 2003: 2003 is not a leap year, so move back 1 day.
- Sunday $\rightarrow$ Saturday
- March 1, 2003 $\rightarrow$ March 1, 2002: 2002 is not a leap year, so move back 1 day.
- Saturday $\rightarrow$ Friday
