'Right to Privacy' is protected under which Article of the Constitution of India?
A
Article 15
B
Article 19
C
Article 21
Correct Answer
D
Article 29
Explanation
The Right to Privacy is protected under Article 21 because the Supreme Court, in the landmark *Justice K.S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India (2017)* case, unanimously declared it an intrinsic part of the right to life and personal liberty. While Article 19 is a tempting choice as it protects specific individual freedoms like speech and movement, the judiciary explicitly anchored privacy within the broader "dignity" and "liberty" framework of Article 21. This question tests the core concept of the judicial expansion of Fundamental Rights through landmark precedents.
