Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option D: 81st. Hiroshima Day is observed annually on 6 August to commemorate the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in 1945 during the Second World War. Hiroshima Day 2026 marks the 81st anniversary of the Hiroshima atomic bombing and promotes global peace and nuclear non-proliferation. The 2026 theme of Hiroshima Day is "Remembrance, Responsibility, and Resilience," highlighting remembrance of victims, global responsibility, and survivor resilience. The uranium-based atomic bomb "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima by the B-29 bomber Enola Gay at 8:15 a.m. on 6 August 1945. Approximately 70,000–80,000 people died immediately, while the death toll reached nearly 140,000 by the end of 1945 due to injuries and radiation exposure. The second atomic bomb, "Fat Man," was dropped on Nagasaki on 9 August 1945, and Japan surrendered on 15 August 1945. Survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings are known as Hibakusha and continue to symbolize resilience and the humanitarian impact of nuclear warfare. The Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park's Flame of Peace has burned continuously since 1964 as a symbol of the global commitment to eliminating nuclear weapons.
