Answer:

A and E

Step-by-step explanation:

Both were influences in the creation of Earth Day and the Environmental Protection Agency. The first Earth Day was celebrated in April of 1970 at the suggestion of Senator Gaylord Nelson (D-WI). The EPA was proposed by President Richard Nixon in July of 1970, and it began to operate just five months later. And while Rachel Carson was not directly involved with the planning of these, her impactful Silent Spring from 1962 was a major influence on the eventual creation of them both.
