Correct answer: A

World Environment Day falls on 5 June, under General Assembly resolution A/RES/2994 (XXVII).
16 September is the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer, which is a different environmental observance.
22 April is not the date the United Nations assigns to World Environment Day.

Worth noting

The environment carries several UN days and they are easily swapped. Attaching each to its own resolution is the only way to keep them apart, because the themes overlap and the dates do not.
