A

Monday

B

Thursday

C

Saturday

D

Friday

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation

To solve this elegantly, let's just make a simple list of the days and fill in what we know for sure. There are 5 subjects and 6 available days (Mon-Sat, since Sunday is free).\n\n1. **Monday**: Explicitly given as **Music**.\n2. **Tuesday**: Explicitly given as **Sports**.\n3. **Wednesday**: Explicitly given as **Mathematics**.\n4. **Thursday**: The rule says History is the day after Math. Since Math is Wednesday, **History** falls on Thursday.\n\nNow we are left with two days: **Friday** and **Saturday**.\nWe have one subject left: **Literature**.\n\nThe rule says Literature is **not** on Friday. Therefore, Literature must go to **Saturday**.\n\nThis leaves **Friday** as the only day with no subject assigned. Thus, Friday is the free day.
