    C.

    Article 21

    D.

    Correct option is C


    Article 21 of the Constitution of India guarantees the Right to Life and Personal Liberty. It states:
    "No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law."
    This is one of the most fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution and has been interpreted by the Supreme Court of India in a very broad and liberal manner to include right to privacy, right to health, right to education, right to a clean environment, and right to live with dignity.
    Information Booster:
    · Article 21 is a cornerstone of Fundamental Rights (Part III) and protects individuals from arbitrary actions by the state.
    · Over the years, through judicial interpretations, this article has evolved into a vast umbrella protecting various human rights and civil liberties.
    Additional Knowledge:
    · Article 2B and Article 4B: These are non-existent articles in the Indian Constitution.
    · Article 19: This article provides various freedoms such as speech, assembly, movement, etc., but not specifically the right to life and liberty.
