Given:  16th May, 2015 is Friday

As 2015 is an ordinary year, therefore the number of odd days ⇒ 1

So, the day asked is in past

∴ 16th May 2014 → Friday - 1 = Thursday 

Thus, Thursday was the day of the week on 16th May 2014.

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.

Additional InformationIn case of leap year, last day of the leap year will be the next day from the first day of the same year.

In an ordinary year the First and the Last Day of that year are the same.
