World Sight Day, observed globally to focus attention on blindness and visual impairment, falls on:
- A Second Thursday of November
- B Second Thursday of October ✓
- C First Sunday of September
- D Third Friday of August
Correct answer: B. Second Thursday of October
Explanation
World Sight Day is observed on the second Thursday of October every year. It is coordinated by the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness under the Vision 2020 and now 2030 In Sight umbrella. The other dates correspond to no recognised eye health observance, so a student who knows the observance calendar will find only one plausible option.
