The direct answer is A: Service to poor and sick people. Mother Teresa became internationally known for caring for people who were poor, ill, homeless, or neglected. The underlying idea is humanitarianism: helping human beings because they need support, dignity, and compassion, not because they can give something in return. Her religious organization, the Missionaries of Charity, worked among vulnerable people, especially in India. Therefore the reasoning is: the question asks about the broad value connected with her work; her well-known activity was compassionate service; so option A is the best match. Option A is correct because serving the poor and sick describes her public work. Option B, imperial conquest, means gaining territories through an empire and has no connection with her charitable mission. Option C, military monarchy, describes a political system ruled by a monarch with military power, not humanitarian service. Option D, piracy, means robbery at sea and is completely unrelated. Memory cue: Mother Teresa means compassion, charity, and service to the needy.

The direct answer is A: Right to girls' education. Malala Yousafzai became a global symbol because she spoke courageously for girls who were prevented from attending school, especially in areas affected by violent extremism. The basic concept is that education is a human right: girls and boys should both be able to learn safely and develop their abilities. The reasoning is simple: identify Malala's main public cause; it was girls' access to education; therefore A is correct. Option A correctly names the right she defended. Option B, the right to imperial expansion, concerns conquering or enlarging an empire and has nothing to do with her campaign. Option C, hereditary rule, means power passing through a family, not equal educational opportunity. Option D, imposing a sea tax, concerns maritime revenue and is unrelated to children's rights. Her courage made the issue internationally visible, but the central cause remains education, not political conquest. Memory cue: Malala is linked with books, school, courage, and girls' education.
