Consider the following pairs : International agreement / set-up — Subject 1. Alma-Ata Declaration — Healthcare of the people 2. Hague Convention — Biological and chemical weapons 3. Talanoa Dialogue — Global climate change 4. Under2 Coalition — Child rights Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched ?

A
1 and 2 only
B
4 only
C
1 and 3 only
Correct answer
D
2, 3 and 4 only

Explanation

Option (c) is correct because the Alma-Ata Declaration (1978) is the foundational international document for primary healthcare, and the Talanoa Dialogue is a UNFCCC process designed to help countries implement their climate goals. The Under2 Coalition is the most tempting distractor, but it actually refers to a group of subnational governments committed to climate action, not child rights. The core concept being tested is the identification of major international declarations and contemporary environmental diplomacy frameworks.
