(A), (B) and (C) Only 

D.

(A), (B), (C) and (D) Only

Correct option is D


As statements (A), (B), (C), and (D) accurately reflect constitutional provisions in India:
1. (A) The constitution of India allows the state to intervene in matters of religion in order to ensure equality among religious communities: This is true. The Indian Constitution empowers the state to make necessary interventions in religious matters, particularly to promote equality and ensure that religious practices do not infringe upon fundamental rights.
2. (B) The Constitution prohibits discrimination on the grounds of religion: This is also true. Article 15 of the Constitution explicitly prohibits discrimination on several grounds, including religion, ensuring that all citizens are treated equally regardless of their faith.
3. (C) The Constitution provides to all individuals and communities freedom to profess, practice, and propagate any religion: True. Article 25 of the Indian Constitution grants individuals the freedom of conscience and the right to profess, practice, and propagate any religion, safeguarding religious freedom.
4. (D) The Constitution of India advocates the titles of military or academic distinction for the citizens of India: This is true in a specific context. Article 18 of the Constitution abolishes titles that create social hierarchies, but it permits titles of military and academic distinction, such as military honors and educational degrees, as they recognize individual merit.
Statement (E), "Fundamental Rights are non-justiciable rights," is incorrect, as Fundamental Rights are justiciable under the Indian Constitution. This means that if a Fundamental Right is violated, individuals can seek legal recourse in courts.
Therefore, the correct answer is: (A), (B), (C), and (D) only.
