  1. 1999

  2. 1986

  3. 1979

  4. 1945

The correct answer is: 1986

The nuclear power plant accident at Chernobyl occurred in the year 1986. This incident, which is considered to be one of the worst nuclear accidents in human history, took place in the Soviet Union. Option A, 1999, is incorrect because this year marks the founding of the Euro currency, not the Chernobyl accident. Option C, 1979, is incorrect because this year saw the Three Mile Island nuclear accident in the United States, not Chernobyl. Option D, 1945, is incorrect because this year marks the end of World War II, not the Chernobyl accident.
