Solution

The correct option is D Second Wednesday of October
The UN General Assembly sees International Day for Disaster Reduction as a way to promote a global culture of risk-awareness and disaster reduction. That includes disaster prevention, mitigation and preparedness. It was originally celebrated on the Second Wednesday of October, but after two decades the UN General Assembly formally designated 13 October as the annual date.
