Solution:

Multiples of 33 or 44 up to 2001:2001: 20013\left\lfloor\tfrac{2001}{3}\right\rfloor +20014+\left\lfloor\tfrac{2001}{4}\right\rfloor 200112-\left\lfloor\tfrac{2001}{12}\right\rfloor =667+500166=667+500-166 =1001.=1001.

Among these, remove the multiples of 5:5: multiples of 1515 (133133) and of 2020 (100100), re-adding multiples of 6060 (3333): 133+10033=200.133+100-33=200.

So the count is 1001200=801.1001-200=801. Thus, the correct answer is B.
