Friday

Explanation

In a month of 31 days, the days that fall on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of the month appear 5 times. If the 3rd is a Tuesday, then the 2nd is a Monday and the 1st is a Sunday. Therefore, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday will all appear 5 times in this month. Looking at the options, only Sunday is listed. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday will only occur 4 times because they do not fall on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd of this specific month.
