Correct Answer: on


Solution : The most appropriate choice to fill in the blank is the third option.

Explanation: The sentence mentions a specific date, "September 11, 1893", when the declaration was made. In English, we use the preposition "on" to indicate days of the week and specific calendar dates. Therefore, the correct choice is "on" to convey the idea that the declaration was made on a particular date.

So, the correct sentence would be: "I am proud to belong to a religion that has taught the world both tolerance and universal acceptance," he declared on September 11, 1893.
