Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
Economic, social, and cultural rights are the second generation of human rights and include the right to work, education, health care, food, housing, and an adequate standard of living. Civil and political rights (first generation) cover freedoms like voting and fair trial, while solidarity rights (third generation) include the right to development and a clean environment.
