Show answer and explanation

Answer: A. 2016

To find when it falls on a Monday after 2015, we track the shift of days each year (1 day for a standard year, 2 days for a leap year):
2015: Saturday
2016 (Leap Year): Monday (Saturday + 2 days)
Since November 14, 2016, occurred after the February 29 leap day, the shift from 2015 to 2016 is exactly two days. Therefore, Children's Day fell on a Monday in 2016.
