Hint: A diary entry is a written or typed record that is stored, of personal experiences and daily life. It can also be referred to as a journal.

Complete answer:
Let us examine the format of a diary entry –
A good diary writing contains the place, the date, the day, and even the time of writing. After that, an address is made, it could be ‘Dear Diary / any other name that the author likes.’ Then, the body is present, and in the end, there is a sing-off.
For example:
Delhi
2nd June 2003
Sunday, 2:30 p.m.
[ Body ]
XYZ
Let us thus analyze the options given to us in this question -
Option (a.), 'Sunday, 10th January, 20XX', refers to the information about when the diary entry is written.
Therefore, option (a.) is incorrect as it is written in the first line and not the second.

Option (b.), ‘To diary', refers to an address made to the diary.
Therefore, option (b.) is correct as it follows the above-mentioned format.

Option (c.), ‘To me', refers to ‘me’ as the address of the entry.
Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as ‘me’ would refer to the author himself/herself.

Option (d.), ‘Today, 10th January, 20XX', refers to the information about when the diary entry is written. Therefore, option (d.) is incorrect as it is written in the first line and not the second.

Note:
In this question, it will be helpful for the student to recall the concept of a diary. A diary is like a daily written record of (usually personal) experiences and observations; it can be a personal journal (as a physical object) as well.
