• A. The Allied invasion of German-occupied France on June 6, 1944
• B. The end of World War II in Europe
• C. The first Battle of Britain
• D. The attack on Pearl Harbor

Answer: (A)

D-Day is the Allied invasion of German-occupied France on June 6, 1944. It was the massive amphibious assault at Normandy that opened a Western Front in World War II, combining landings on five beaches with air and sea support to push back Nazi forces and begin the liberation of Western Europe. This event is distinct from the end of the war in Europe (VE Day in 1945), the Battle of Britain (1940 aerial combat over Britain), or the attack on Pearl Harbor (1941), each of which refers to a different moment or action in the war.
