Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Lawless v. Ireland was indeed the first case decided by the European Court of Human Rights, and Ireland v. United Kingdom concerned Article 3 (freedom from torture and inhuman or degrading treatment). The Commission on Human Rights was replaced in 2006 by the Human Rights Council, not the Human Rights Committee, and the Commission on the Status of Women was established in 1946, so "Only (i) and (ii) are correct"
