Final answer:

The correct answers to the Four Freedoms promoted by FDR are A, B, and C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The major thrust of the Four Freedoms promoted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) encompassed the following:

A. Freedom of speech.
B. Freedom of religion.
C. Freedom from want.

However, freedom from criticism was not one of the freedoms FDR promoted. The Four Freedoms were articulated by FDR in his 1941 State of the Union address, where he outlined a vision of a world wherein every person on earth had certain fundamental freedoms, marking an ideological stand against the tyranny and totalitarianism spreading during that era of World War II.

The Bill of Rights, specifically the First Amendment, addresses several of the freedoms FDR later advocated such as freedom of religion and speech, but it does not specifically grant a right to education nor a freedom from criticism which was later articulated by FDR as the Four Freedoms.
