▶ Answer & Explanation
Correct answer: D. 1, 2 and 3
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), adopted in 1948, enumerates a broad spectrum of rights. Article 26 explicitly recognizes the right to education. Article 21 addresses the right to participate in government, which encompasses equal access to public service. While not explicitly detailed as a standalone article, the right to food is widely interpreted as a component of the right to an adequate standard of living (Article 25) and is considered a fundamental human right under international human rights law.
