Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C

Explanation

World Ozone Day, officially known as the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer, is observed annually on September 16. This date was designated by the United Nations General Assembly in 1994 to commemorate the signing of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer in 1987.

The Montreal Protocol is a landmark international treaty designed to protect the stratospheric ozone layer by phasing out the production and consumption of ozone-depleting substances (ODS), such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). The ozone layer is vital for life on Earth as it filters out harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.

Other dates mentioned: 25th December is Christmas; 21st April is National Civil Services Day in India; and 30th January is Martyrs' Day (Shaheed Diwas).
