(D) Right to education

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Option 1 -> Includes (B) which is a Directive Principle (Article 39(d) in Part IV), not a Fundamental Right in Part III.

Option 2 -> Includes (B) which is a Directive Principle (Article 39(d) in Part IV), not a Fundamental Right in Part III.

Option 3 -> Correctly identifies all three Fundamental Rights from Part III: (A) Article 16 - Right to Equality, (C) Article 30 - Cultural and Educational Rights, and (D) Article 21A - Right to Freedom.

Option 4 -> Includes (B) which is a Directive Principle (Article 39(d) in Part IV), not a Fundamental Right in Part III, and excludes (A) which is a Fundamental Right.


Hence, Option 3: (A), (C) and (D) only -> Statement (B) "Equal pay for equal work" is enshrined in Article 39(d) as a Directive Principle of State Policy under Part IV, not as a Fundamental Right in Part III. The other three statements correctly represent Fundamental Rights under Right to Equality, Cultural and Educational Rights, and Right to Freedom respectively -> correct
