Answer options

  2. Article 15
  3. Article 16
  4. Article 19

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Article 19

Explanation: The correct answer is D. Article 19. Articles 14, 15, and 16 are part of the Right to Equality, whereas Article 19 falls under the Right to Freedom. Article 14 guarantees equality before the law, Article 15 prohibits discrimination, and Article 16 ensures equality in public employment. In contrast, Article 19 provides six fundamental freedoms, such as freedom of speech, movement, and profession. Thus, while all are Fundamental Rights, Article 19 belongs to a different category.
