The correct answer is Option 2 (A-1, B-4, C-2, D-3). This matching is based on the United Nations General Assembly resolutions designating specific years to highlight global issues.

- C-2: The year 2005 was the International Year of Microcredit, aimed at addressing poverty through financial inclusion.
- D-3: The year 2008 was the International Year of Planet Earth, focusing on geosciences for sustainable development.
Options 1, 3, and 4 are incorrect because they mismatch these specific UN commemorations with their respective years.
