पर्यायी उत्तरे :

The correct answer is Option B ((a), (b) and (d)).

Key Points:
• Core Concept
• The United Nations Millennium Declaration in September 2000 established 8 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to be achieved by 2015.
• Why Correct
• The 8 official MDGs are:
• 1. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger (Goal 1 - Statement (a)).
• 2. Achieve universal primary education (Goal 2 - Statement (b)).
• 3. Promote gender equality and empower women.
• 4. Reduce child mortality.
• 5. Improve maternal health.
• 6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases.
• 7. Ensure environmental sustainability (Goal 7 - Statement (d)).
• 8. Develop a global partnership for development.
• Statement (c) is framed as 'Free and safe drinking water to all', which was not an independent primary MDG goal (halving the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water was merely a sub-target under Goal 7).
• Key Details
• In 2015, MDGs were succeeded by 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
• Exam Traps
• Safe drinking water is an independent SDG (SDG 6), but under the 2000 MDGs, it was only a target under environmental sustainability, making (a), (b), and (d) the correct set.
• Other Options
• Option 4 (All of the above) is incorrect due to the inaccurate standalone formulation of (c).
• Key Takeaway: The 2000 MDGs explicitly featured poverty eradication, universal primary education, and environmental sustainability among their 8 goals.
