D1, 2 and 3

Correct answer: (C) 1 and 3 only

Explanation

Statements 1 and 3 are correct: the Millennium Development Goals were to be met by 2015 and the Sustainable Development Goals took effect in January 2016.

Statement 1 is right because the eight Millennium Development Goals had a 2015 target date.

Statement 3 is right since the Sustainable Development Goals formally came into force at the start of 2016.

Statement 2 is wrong because the Sustainable Development Goals guide policy up to 2030, not 2035.

The Sustainable Development Goals are seventeen goals adopted in 2015 to succeed the Millennium Development Goals.

They form the core of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
