Hint:

Link the event with the global movement and year (2020) to quickly associate George Floyd with May 2025’s fifth anniversary.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Identify the incident
George Floyd, an African-American man, died on May 25, 2020, after a Minneapolis police officer, Derek Chauvin, knelt on his neck for over 9 minutes.
Step 2: Calculate the anniversary
Fifth anniversary of the death would be in May 2025.
Step 3: Eliminate other options
- Rodney King was assaulted in 1991 but did not die from that incident.
- Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968.
- Daunte Wright was killed in April 2021 — not five years before 2025.
George Floyd’s death triggered worldwide protests under the "Black Lives Matter" movement.
