Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option B: Greece. UNESCO added Mount Olympus (Greece) and the D-Day Landing Beaches (France) to the World Heritage List on 26 July 2026. The decision was taken during the 48th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee held in Busan, South Korea. Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in Greece (2,918 metres), was inscribed as a Mixed World Heritage Site. The D-Day Landing Beaches in Normandy, France, commemorate the Allied invasion of 6 June 1944 during the Second World War. The UNESCO World Heritage Convention, 1972 provides the legal framework for the inscription of cultural, natural, and mixed heritage sites. ICOMOS (International Council on Monuments and Sites) is the advisory body that evaluates cultural heritage nominations for UNESCO. UNESCO's World Heritage List recognises sites of Outstanding Universal Value for their cultural, natural, or mixed significance. Other sites inscribed during the same session included Asuka and Fujiwara (Japan), Boma-Badingilo Migratory Landscape (South Sudan), and historic theatres in Italy.
