Correct option is C

The correct option is: (c) all cabinet papers

Explanation

The freedom of speech and expression under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution of India includes the right to receive and disseminate information. However, this right is not absolute and is subject to reasonable restrictions under Article 19(2).

• Cabinet papers, including records of deliberations of the Council of Ministers, are protected from disclosure.
• Such information is exempted to ensure:
• Collective responsibility of the Cabinet
• Free and frank discussion among ministers
• National interest and confidentiality
• This position has been upheld by the Supreme Court and is also reflected in:
• Article 74(2) of the Constitution
• Right to Information Act, 2005, which exempts cabinet papers until decisions are taken and matters are complete.

Therefore, freedom of speech and expression disallows disclosure of all cabinet papers.
