Explanation

Options A (January 1, 1995) and D (2020-05-01) are correct because both represent complete, specific points in time with a day, month, and year - the three components required for a full date value. Option A uses a common human-readable format, while Option D uses the ISO 8601 standard format (YYYY-MM-DD), both widely recognized as valid date representations.

B (December) is wrong because it only specifies a month - without a day or year, it cannot pinpoint a specific date. C (Wednesday) is wrong because it names a day of the week, not a calendar date; it recurs every seven days and has no fixed position in time.

Memory tip: Ask yourself, "Could I mark this on a specific square of a calendar?" If the answer is no - because it's too vague (a month or weekday alone) - it's not a date value.
