Answer 1

The correct option is A Universal Declaration of Human Rights was issued

Human Rights Day is observed every year on 10 December – the day the United Nations General Assembly adopted, in 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It establishes the equal dignity and worth of every person. The date was chosen to honour the United Nations General Assembly's adoption and proclamation, on 10 December 1948, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the first global enunciation of human rights and one of the first major achievements of the new United Nations. Hence, Option A is correct. For the rest of the events, the dates are 24 October 1945, September 1961, 6–8 December 1985 respectively. Hence, these options are incorrect.
