Explanation:
Right to the City' is an acknowledged human right, and the UN-Habitat monitors the commitments made by each country in this regard. This statement is correct.
'Right to the City' grants every city occupant the right to reclaim public spaces and participate in the city's decision-making processes. This statement is also correct.
However, the statement that 'Right to the City' means that the State cannot deny any public service or facility to unauthorized colonies in the city is incorrect. 'Right to the City' does not specifically guarantee services or facilities to unauthorized colonies.
Therefore, the correct statements are 1 and 2. The answer is (c) 1 and 2.
