Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were eight time-bound targets established following the United Nations Millennium Declaration in 2000, intended for achievement by 2015 [3]. The official list includes: (1) Eradicating extreme poverty and hunger [1], (2) Achieving universal primary education [1], (3) Promoting gender equality and empowering women [4], (4) Reducing child mortality [1], (5) Improving maternal health [2], (6) Combating HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases [4], (7) Ensuring environmental sustainability [2], and (8) Developing a global partnership for development [2]. While the MDGs focused on specific health outcomes like reducing child mortality and improving maternal health, 'reducing birthrate and death rate' was not a standalone goal [2]. General demographic indicators like birthrates are distinct from the targeted health and poverty interventions defined in the MDG framework [4].
