View correct answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct Option: C (1 and 3 only)
Explanation: The Alma-Ata declaration concerns primary healthcare, and the Talanoa Dialogue was launched for global climate-policy engagement. The weapons and child-rights matches are inaccurate.
Statement / Pair / Item-wise Analysis:
1. Correct - The 1978 Alma-Ata Declaration is on primary health care (“Ahna-Ata” is a typo).
2. Incorrect - Hague conventions largely concern rules of warfare and related law, not a single biological/chemical weapons convention as stated.
3. Correct - The Talanoa Dialogue facilitated climate ambition discussions under the UNFCCC.
4. Incorrect - The Under2 Coalition is a subnational climate-action coalition, not a child-rights initiative.
