Which of the UN’s Millennium Project goals was met?

Answer
A
Between 1990 and 2015 cut in half the number of people that have no access to proper medical care.
B
Between 1990 and 2015 cut in half the number of people whose income is less than $1.25 a day.
C
Between 1990 and 2015 cut in half the number of people who suffer from hunger.
D
Between 1990 and 2015 cut in half the number of people dying from starvation.

Explanation

The Millennium Development Goal target was to halve the proportion of people living on less than $1.25 a day between 1990 and 2015, and that target was achieved ahead of schedule. Choice B describes this poverty-reduction goal. The hunger target concerned the proportion of people who were undernourished, not the number dying from starvation.
