The correct answer is: B. 2010
2010 was celebrated as the International Year of the Shark. The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 2010 as the International Year of the Shark in December 2008. The goal of the year was to raise awareness of the importance of sharks and the threats they face.
Sharks are apex predators and play an important role in marine ecosystems. They help to keep populations of other marine animals in check. Sharks are also a valuable source of food and medicine. However, sharks are facing a number of threats, including overfishing, habitat loss, and bycatch.
The International Year of the Shark was a success in raising awareness of these threats. It also led to a number of conservation initiatives, such as the creation of new marine protected areas and the development of new fishing practices that are less harmful to sharks.
The other options are incorrect because they are not the years that were celebrated as the International Year of the Shark.
