Cevap
The correct answer is the signing of the agreement that ended the fighting in World War I.
The correct answer is correct because Remembrance Day is observed on November 11 to mark the anniversary of the end of World War I in 1918. The '11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month' specifically refers to the time the Armistice (the agreement to stop fighting) took effect.
