D. Tuesday

Explanation

To find out the day of the week on which 20th May 1997 falls, given that 20th May 1996 was a Monday, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Identify the year difference
We need to find the day of the week for the same date in the following year, which is 1997. The difference between 1996 and 1997 is 1 year.

### Step 2: Determine if the year is a leap year
Next, we need to check if 1997 is a leap year or not. A leap year occurs every 4 years, except for years that are divisible by 100 but not by 400. Since 1997 is not divisible by 4, it is not a leap year.

### Step 3: Calculate the number of days in the year
Since 1997 is not a leap year, it has 365 days.

### Step 4: Calculate the odd days
To find out how many odd days there are in 365 days, we divide 365 by 7 (since there are 7 days in a week):
- 365 ÷ 7 = 52 weeks and 1 day remainder.

This means there is 1 odd day.

### Step 5: Determine the day of the week for 20th May 1997
Since 20th May 1996 was a Monday, we add the 1 odd day to it:
- Monday + 1 day = Tuesday.

### Conclusion
Therefore, 20th May 1997 will fall on a **Tuesday**.
