Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. 1955
Kurentovanje is Slovenia's best-known carnival event, held in Ptuj. The idea of a real organized carnival there took shape in 1955, when Svoboda ran it with a brass band and processions on Shrove Tuesday. Drago Hasl only turned that spark into the official Kurentovanje five years later, in 1960.
