Which sentence correctly capitalizes days of the week?

Days of the week are proper nouns and are always capitalized. In this sentence, the correct form is “on Monday” because Monday is the name of a day and there’s no possessive needed. Using lowercase “monday” breaks the capitalization rule, and adding an apostrophe as in “Monday’s” (or “monday’s”) implies possession and would only be correct if you were talking about something that belongs to Monday (for example, “Monday’s schedule”).
