Answer 1

Hint: World Earth Day is an annual occasion which commemorates the planet's environment and puts forward public awareness about pollution. This day is observed worldwide with rallies, conferences, outdoor recreations and service programs.

Complete answer:
Earth Day is celebrated on April 22 every year. This day aims to boost attention among masses about climate change and global warming. The earth day celebrations last from a day to over a couple of weeks where several efforts are taken to clean up the environment. It encourages us to act towards the safety of the environment and concentrate on the need for conservation.

Earth Day is recognised as the biggest social event in the world. It urges abrupt action to be taken to tackle industrial pollution, oil spills, toxic waste disposal and others.

Earth Day was first celebrated on April 22, 1970, when 10% of the U.S. public at that time took to the streets to revolt against environmental awareness. The credit for this event goes to US Senator Gaylord Nelson.

Hence, making all the options irrelevant, option 'c' is correct.

Note: The theme of 2020 Earth Day is to diminish greenhouse gas emissions and strengthen the adaptive capacity to climate-induced consequences. Today, Earth Day Network (EDN) works with various partners and communities in more than 192 countries to put forward the environmental problems and diversify the environmental campaign.
