Answer: D
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the UN General Assembly on 10 December 1948 at Paris, by resolution 217A (III). The day is observed each year as Human Rights Day.
The other dates, in 1940, 1942 and 1946, come before the Declaration was drafted by the Commission on Human Rights under Eleanor Roosevelt, so none of them can be its date of adoption.
The vote on the Declaration in Paris had 48 states in favour, none against and eight abstentions. The Commission on Human Rights, with Eleanor Roosevelt as chair, had drafted it, so the date has to be after the war, and only 1948 does so.
