Answer : 4. "Middle finger"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Middle finger Explanation: Clearly, while counting the numbers associated to the thumb will be 1,9,17,25,.........i.e., numbers of the form (8n + 1 ).where n=1,2,3...Since 1994 = 249 × 8 + 2, so 1993 shall correspond to the thumb and 1994 to the index finger and 1995 to the middle finger.
