What Day vs When

Hi,

The following English question in from an English test. I’m not sure the key is correct. May I have your opinion on this?

A: ____________________?

B: I was born on 25th December 1969.

  1. When is your birthday
  2. Where is your birthday
  3. Whose birthday is it
  4. What day is your birthday

The key is ‘1’. But I think ‘4’ is also correct.

Thanks for your help.
