Explanation:

- Option 1: Halving extreme poverty and halting the spread of HIV/AIDS was indeed one of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) set by the United Nations. These goals focused on addressing urgent global issues by 2015.

- Option 2: Developing a new variety of food grains was not specifically an MDG. While food security is essential, the MDGs did not focus on developing new crop varieties.

- Option 3: Ensuring population control specifically in least developed countries was not an MDG. Population control was framed under broader goals like promoting global health and education.

- Option 4: Developing procedures for forewarning systems on natural disasters wasn't one of the MDGs. While important, the MDGs mainly addressed health, education, and poverty.

Correct Answer: Option 1: Halving extreme poverty and halting the spread of HIV/AIDS
