- B.Ozone for Life
- C.Cooling for All

Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Global Action for a Cooler Planet. The Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change organised the national celebration of the 32nd World Ozone Day in Mumbai on 16 September 2026 under this theme, with Minister of State Kirti Vardhan Singh presiding and Maharashtra's Environment Minister Pankaja Munde also present. Options B, C and D are wrong because, although each sounds plausible for an environmental observance, none was the theme announced for this edition. Themes of international days are a standard question type, so aspirants should tie the theme to the edition number and to the year. Remember alongside it that the Net Zero Portal and the NAPCC Dashboard were launched at the same function, and that 248 Industrial Training Institutes were adopted by 12 refrigeration and air-conditioning manufacturers.
