Correct answer: (D) Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Explanation
The Millennium Development Goals numbered eight, not thirty-one, so Statement 1 is false.
Those eight goals were broken into targets, but the goals themselves stayed at eight.
Statement 2 is true, as the MDGs held 8 goals and the SDGs expanded them to 17.
The MDGs ran from 2000 to 2015 with a focus mainly on developing nations.
The SDGs replaced them in 2015 with a universal agenda for all countries.
The 17 SDGs are supported by 169 associated targets.
