Poverty and religious freedom
Correct, Mother Teresa and the missionaries of Charity responded to the social needs of poverty and religious freedom.
Mother Teresa and the Missionaries of Charity primarily responded to the social need of (D) poverty. They dedicated their lives to serving the poorest of the poor and providing them with food, shelter, medical care, and other essential resources.
While they were motivated by their religious beliefs, it is important to note that they did not directly focus on (A) democratic needs, (C) political inequality, (E) religious freedom, or (F) women's rights as their main areas of service. However, they did address the social need of (B) illness by providing healthcare to those in need, particularly the terminally ill and those affected by diseases such as leprosy and HIV/AIDS.
To determine which options apply, (D) poverty and (B) illness are the ones that best align with the work of Mother Teresa and the Missionaries of Charity.
