- A1 only
- B2 only
- CBoth 1 and 2
- DNeither 1 nor 2
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct: Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights provides that everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution. Statement 2 is incorrect: Article 15 of the UDHR deals with nationality — everyone has the right to a nationality and no one shall be arbitrarily deprived of it nor denied the right to change it — so the statement's framing is wrong. Only statement 1 is correct, so the answer is (A). (Cross-checked with Testbook's CDS-I 2024 solutions.)
