The answer is
October
Because the months given are
increasing in length.
Box 1:
April, June, September and November last 30 days
Box 2:
March lasts 31 days minus 1 hour because of time change
Box 3:
January, May, July, August, December last 31 days
Box 4:
October lasts 31 days plus 1 hour because of time change
