A1 and 2 are correct

B1 and 3 are correct ✓ Correct

C2 and 3 are correct

DAll of the above

Correct answer: (B) 1 and 3 are correct

Explanation

Earth Hour is run by the World Wide Fund for Nature and began in Sydney in 2007, matching Statements 1 and 3.

Statement 1 is correct, as the World Wide Fund for Nature runs the event.

Statement 3 is correct, since it started in 2007 when lights were switched off for a set time in Sydney, Australia.

Statement 2 is faulty, as its aim is to unite and mobilise people on environmental issues, not to diversify them.

The core idea is a symbolic hour of switched-off lights each year to spotlight climate action.

Earth Hour is now marked on the last Saturday of March in scores of countries.
