D 2, 3 and 4 only

Correct answer: (c) 1 and 3 only

Explanation

  1. A

    1 and 2 only

    1 and 2 only. Hague in this list is not the CWC/BWC pair as stated; Under2 is climate, not child rights.

  2. B

    4 only

    4 only. Under2 Coalition is subnational climate, not children.

  3. C

    1 and 3 only

    1 and 3 only. Alma-Ata (1978) is primary health care; Talanoa Dialogue is the UNFCCC climate process. Hague and Under2 are mis-paired.

  4. D

    2, 3 and 4 only. Keeps two wrong pairs.

Summary. Official key is (c) 1 and 3 only. Alma-Ata is health for all; Talanoa is climate. The Hague Convention here is not keyed as chemical/biological weapons, and Under2 is a climate coalition of subnational governments, not child rights.
