The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone international document that proclaims the inalienable rights to which every individual is inherently entitled, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.

Option 1 suggests that only the Right to Education is a Human Right under this declaration. This is incorrect as the UDHR also recognizes the other two rights mentioned.

Option 2 states that the Right to Education and Right to Equal Access to Public Service are Human Rights, neglecting the Right to Food. This is also inaccurate.

Option 3 implies that only the Right to Food is recognized as a Human Right. This is not the case as the other two rights are too recognized.

Option 4 correctly states that all three rights - Right to Education, Right to Equal Access to Public Service, and Right to Food - are indeed Human Rights as per the UDHR. Therefore, this is the correct answer.
