Complete answer:
The earth’s environment is an intrinsic factor in why life on earth is possible. The atmosphere acts as a protective blanket around the planet keeping the surface safe from excessive heat, harmful radiations and most space debris that pass close by. Other than that, it is also responsible for prevalent winds, weather patterns, precipitation and the very air we breathe to survive. Lately, the atmosphere is facing the problem of increasing pollution and therefore we have the International World Atmosphere Day to raise awareness for it. Let us now see which of the given dates are correct-

A. 7th April is not World Atmosphere Day. Instead, it is celebrated as the international World Health Day to increase awareness about certain health issues. So, this is not the correct option.

B. 10th April is observed as World Atmosphere Day. It is observed as Siblings Day in some parts of the United States and Canada. So, this is the correct option.

C. 22nd May is also not the World Atmosphere Day. On this day, we observe the International Day for Biological Diversity as declared by the United Nations general assembly. So, this is not the correct option.

D. 5th June is not the World Atmosphere Day. Instead, this day is observed as the international World Environment Day to raise awareness about environmental issues. Thus, this is not the correct option.

Therefore, the correct answer is B

Note:
> 10th April is also significant as the day when RMS Titanic set sail on her maiden voyage which ended tragically.
> 10th April is also observed as World Homeopathy Day.
> The World Environment Day of 2020 was on the theme of Time for Nature. The theme for the first World Environment Day was Only One Earth.
> Similar to World Environment Day, the World Health Day picks a new health issue to focus on every year.
