Answer : B
Explanation :

     20th September 1972 means 1971 years + 8 months + 20 days.
     1971 = 1600 years  + 300 years  + 71 years

In 71 years there are 17 leap years and 54 ordinary years
   = > (17 x 2 ) + (54 x 1)=  88 odd days i.e, 5 odd days
    
The number of the days from 1st January 1972 to 20th sept 1972 is
     = 31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 20
