Hello, teachers.
Would you tell me which one is correct? And are there any better expressions?

a) 9.11 terrorist attack
b) 9.11 terrorism attack
c) terrorist attack on 9.11
d) terrorism attack on 9.11
e) terrorist attack of 9.11
f) terrorism attack of 9.11

Thank you in advance!

It is better to write it as "9/11" than "9.11." In the U.S., we write the date as month, day, year: September 11, 2001 = 9/11/01.

It was a terrorist attack on 9/11/01, so I think you can't go wrong with

the 9/11 terrorist attack
the terrorist attack on 9/11
the terrorist attack of 9/11
