B Correct answer
Explanation

The D-Day landings on June 6, 1944, took place on the beaches of Normandy, France, where Allied troops launched the largest seaborne invasion in history. The 60th anniversary ceremony in 2004 was naturally held at the same historic location to commemorate the operation. Pearl Harbour was the site of the Japanese attack that brought the US into WWII, not the D-Day landings.
