Year 2011 was officially declared by the United Nations as which one of the following?
- International Year of Medicine
- International Year of Literature
- International Year of Chemistry
- None of the given options is correct
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - International Year of Chemistry
The United Nations declared 2011 the International Year of Chemistry, marking a century since Marie Curie's Nobel Prize in Chemistry (1911). It was not a year of medicine or of literature, so a named option does fit and the catch-all is wrong.
