Explanation

The correct answer is D because all three rights are explicitly mentioned in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights UDHR adopted by the United Nations in 1948. First Article 26 of the UDHR states that everyone has the right to education. This confirms point 1. Second Article 21 Clause 2 of the UDHR states that everyone has the right to equal access to public service in their country. This confirms point 2. Third Article 25 of the UDHR states that everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for health and well being including food clothing housing and medical care. This confirms point 3. Since all three points are part of the declaration the correct option is 1 2 and 3.
