Step 1: Concept
In an ordinary (non-leap) span of 365 days, the same date moves forward by one weekday. In a leap year span of 366 days it moves forward by two.
Step 2: Look at the span
The span from 11 Jan 2023 to 11 Jan 2024 does not include 29 February, because 29 February 2024 comes later. So it is an ordinary 365-day span.
Step 3: Use the rule
If 11 Jan 2023 is day X, then 11 Jan 2024 is X + 1. We are told X + 1 = Thursday.
So X = Thursday - 1 = Wednesday.
Step 4: Cross-check with the week list
Order of days: Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu. Wednesday moved one step forward gives Thursday, which matches the given data.
Final Answer:
The day was Wednesday, option 1.
\[ \boxed{\text{Wednesday}} \]
