An assault from aircraft carriers
The largest amphibious operation in WW II
Invasion of Italy
Invasion of Spain

The correct answer is: The largest amphibious operation in WW II

The Invasion of Normandy, also known as D-Day, was a significant military operation during World War II that took place on June 6, 1944. It was the largest amphibious assault in history, involving nearly 160,000 Allied troops landing on the beaches of Normandy, France. This operation marked the beginning of the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi occupation. The scale and complexity of the invasion required extensive planning and coordination among the Allied forces, including multiple nations and branches of the military working together. The magnitude of the operation is reflected in not only the number of troops involved but also the logistics of transporting equipment, supplies, and support personnel across the English Channel. The success of the Normandy invasion laid the groundwork for subsequent operations leading to the defeat of Germany. Understanding the significance of this operation helps to contextualize its impact on the war and the eventual liberation of occupied territories in Europe.
