The correct answer is option 3, 1864. The Geneva Conventions, a set of international humanitarian laws, were first adopted in 1864. These conventions were created to establish protections for individuals who are not taking part in the hostilities during times of armed conflict. Option 1, 1832, is incorrect because the Geneva Conventions were not established until later. Option 2, 1857, is also incorrect because it predates the adoption of the conventions. Option 4, 1909, is also incorrect because it is a later date than the adoption of the first Geneva Convention. Therefore, the correct date for the adoption of the first Geneva Convention is 1864.
