When did D-Day occur?

  1. July 4, 1944

  2. December 7, 1941

  3. June 6, 1944

  4. May 8, 1945

The correct answer is: June 6, 1944

D-Day occurred on June 6, 1944. Option A is incorrect because July 4, 1944 was the day of the Allied victory in the Battle of Normandy, not the day of the invasion known as D-Day. Option B is also incorrect because December 7, 1941 was the date of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, which led to the United States entering World War II, but it was not D-Day. Option D is the date of Victory in Europe Day (VE Day), when Germany surrendered to the Allies, but again, this was not the specific date of the D-Day invasion. Therefore, option C is the correct answer as it accurately represents the date of the Allied landings on the beaches of Normandy, France.
