Correct Solution: Option A

Step-by-step Solution:

1. Distribution of Days in a Non-Leap Year: \[ \text{7 months have 31 days.} \] \[ \text{4 months have 30 days.} \] \[ \text{1 month has 28 days.} \] 2. Calculate the Number of Ways to Choose 5 Days: \[ \text{For each of the 7 months with 31 days, the number of ways to choose 5 days is } \binom{31}{5}. \] \[ \text{For each of the 4 months with 30 days, the number of ways to choose 5 days is } \binom{30}{5}. \] \[ \text{For the 1 month with 28 days, the number of ways to choose 5 days is } \binom{28}{5}. \] 3. Combine the Results: \[ \text{The total number of ways is:} \] \[ \left( \binom{31}{5} \right)^7 \times \left( \binom{30}{5} \right)^4 \times \binom{28}{5} \] Therefore, the correct option is: \[ \boxed{\left( \binom{31}{5} \right)^7 \times \left( \binom{30}{5} \right)^4 \times \binom{28}{5}} \]
