Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
A global development framework must be read at three levels: its goals, the targets nested under those goals, and its time horizon. Succession is chronological: the later framework succeeds the earlier one.
Application
The MDG framework contained eight goals, so statement A is true.
The UN final MDG monitoring framework had 21 targets, not 40, so statement B is false.
The target date was 2015, so statement C is true.
The SDGs followed and built on the MDGs; therefore statement D reverses the chronology and is false.
Contrast
A, B and C only includes the 40-target claim.
B and D only combines the target-count claim with the reversed succession.
B, C and D only retains both of those issues even though it includes the 2015 deadline.
Result
The true statements are A and C, so the answer by value is A and C only.
