Correct answer
A. 2020
Explanation
A Leap Day, February 29, is added to the calendar during leap years. This extra day, also called Leap Year Day, makes the year 366 days long – not 365 days, like a common year. Nearly every four years, we add an extra day to the calendar in the form of February 29, also known as Leap Day. The next leap day will be on Thursday, February 29, 2024. The last Leap Day was on Saturday, February 29, 2020.
