As Chairman of an independent commission on education, Jacques Delors report to UNESCO was titled:
Learning: The Treasure Within
The question concerns a landmark document in international education policy and asks for its exact title.
Jacques Delors chaired the International Commission on Education for the Twenty-first Century, which reported to UNESCO in 1996 under the title Learning: The Treasure Within. The phrase is drawn from a fable in which a treasure is found to lie in the ground the seeker has been working all along, the point being that the real treasure is education itself.
The report is best remembered for setting out the four pillars on which education should rest: learning to know, which is the acquisition of understanding and the tools of thought; learning to do, which is the capacity to act competently in the world of work; learning to live together, which is the development of understanding of others and of interdependence; and learning to be, which is the flowering of the whole person. Some later discussion adds a fifth pillar, learning to transform oneself and society.
The other options name different things. The World Declaration on Education for All came out of the Jomtien Conference of 1990, which set goals for universalising basic education. The Millennium Development Report belongs to the separate United Nations framework of development goals, and the first option is merely a descriptive phrase rather than the report's title.
Hence the Delors report to UNESCO was titled Learning: The Treasure Within.
