Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: World Environment Day is celebrated every year on 5 June. It was established by the United Nations in 1972 following the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment and is coordinated by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

Step 1: Recall the date. World Environment Day is observed on \[ \boxed{5\ \text{June}} \]

Step 2: Eliminate the incorrect options. \[ \begin{aligned} A. &\ 5\ \text{September} \rightarrow \text{Teachers' Day in India.} B. &\ 5\ \text{June} \rightarrow \text{World Environment Day.}\checkmark C. &\ 10\ \text{September} \rightarrow \text{Incorrect.} D. &\ 5\ \text{March} \rightarrow \text{Incorrect.} \end{aligned} \] Hence, \[ \boxed{\text{(B)}} \]
