Richard Henry Lee's resolution for independence was proposed on June 7, 1776, and it was adopted on July 2, 1776. The Declaration of Independence was then officially adopted on July 4, 1776.

Choice B is incorrect because May 10, 1775, was the date of the Second Continental Congress, which is significant but not related to the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. Choice C is incorrect because July 10, 1776, is not the correct date for the adoption of the Lee Resolution. Choice E is incorrect because June 7 is the correct date for the Lee Resolution but June 2, 1783, has no significance in this context.
