The Correct Option is C
Approach Solution - 1
Rita goes to the movies only on Thursday. If she went 9 days ago, we subtract 9 from today. Starting from Thursday, if we count 9 days back, we land on a Saturday, which is 9 days prior to the next Thursday.

Approach Solution -2
Rita went to the movies nine days ago, and she goes to the movies only on Thursday.
Since she went nine days ago on a Thursday, we need to find out what day it is today.
Counting forward 9 days from Thursday:
- 7 days from Thursday will bring us to the next Thursday.
- 2 more days after Thursday is Saturday.
Therefore, today is Saturday.
Conclusion:
The correct answer is Saturday.
