The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Important days questions are answered by matching each option against the observance you already know for that date, then keeping the one date that is still free for the day in the question. Here the day in question is World Computer Literacy Day.

  1. November 14: In India this date is Children's Day, kept on Jawaharlal Nehru's birth anniversary. It is also close to World Diabetes Day. Nothing on this date relates to computers.
  2. November 3: No major international observance for computers falls here, so it can be dropped straight away.
  3. December 2: This is World Computer Literacy Day. It was launched in 2001 by NIIT on its own founding anniversary and is used to spread basic computer skills, especially among children and women in poorer regions.
  4. July 5: Again no computer literacy link. It is filler in this set.

By elimination and by direct recall, December 2 is the answer. The idea behind the day is the digital divide, the gap between those who can use a computer and those who cannot, and the observance pushes free training drives to narrow that gap.

Let us summarize:

  • World Computer Literacy Day: 2 December, started in 2001 by NIIT.
  • Its goal is to spread basic computer skills and cut the digital divide.
  • November 14 is the trap option because it is Children's Day in India.

So the correct choice is option (C), December 2.
