The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Concept:
For two years to have the same calendar:
• Both years must be either leap years or ordinary years.
• January 1 of both years must fall on the same weekday. Since 1996 is a leap year, we need the next leap year having the same day-date arrangement.
Step 1: Check the given options.
\[ 1996 \text{ is a leap year} \] Among the options: \[ 2004 \text{ is also a leap year} \] The day shifts occurring between 1996 and 2004 bring the calendar back to the same arrangement.
Step 2: Select the matching year.
Hence, the next year among the options having the same calendar as 1996 is \[ \boxed{2004} \]
