The correct answer is option 3: Allied Troops landed in Normandy.

D-Day, also known as the Normandy landings, refers to the day when Allied forces launched a massive invasion on the beaches of Normandy, France, during World War II. This event took place on June 6, 1944. The objective of the invasion was to liberate Western Europe from Nazi Germany`s control.

Option 1 is incorrect. Germany declared war on Britain on September 3, 1939, which marked the beginning of World War II. However, D-Day specifically refers to the invasion of Normandy and not the declaration of war.

Option 2 is incorrect. The United States dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, as part of the Pacific War against Japan. This event is known as the Hiroshima bombing and is not related to D-Day.

Option 4 is incorrect. Germany surrendered to the Allies on May 7, 1945, which marked the end of World War II in Europe. However, this event is known as VE Day (Victory in Europe Day) and is not related to D-Day.

Alert - The correct answer should be: 3 Allied Troops landed in Normandy.
