Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer B
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The United Nations observes the International Day of Yoga on 21 June.
It was created by General Assembly resolution A/RES/69/131.
11 May is National Technology Day, which is an Indian observance with no UN resolution behind it.
Worth noting
Every UN international day is created by a resolution, and the resolution number is the proof that a day is a UN observance rather than a national one. That is a useful test when an option set mixes the two.
