  4. Britain

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: USA

Explanation: The correct answer is B. USA. The concept of Fundamental Rights in the Indian Constitution has been borrowed from the Constitution of the United States of America. Just like the Bill of Rights in the US, our Fundamental Rights aim to protect individual freedoms and ensure justice, liberty, and equality for all citizens. These rights are clearly listed in Part III of the Indian Constitution (Articles 12 to 35) and are considered essential for the development of the personality of every individual. They act as a safeguard against arbitrary actions of the State.
