Which of the following are envisaged by the Right against Exploitation in the Constitution of India ? 1. Prohibition of traffic in human beings and forced labour 2. Abolition of untouchability 3. Protection of the interests of minorities 4. Prohibition of employment of children in factories and mines Select the correct answer using the code given below :

A
1, 2 and 4 only
B
2, 3 and 4 only
C
1 and 4 only
Correct Answer
D
1, 2, 3 and 4

Explanation

The correct answer is (c) because the Right against Exploitation specifically comprises only two provisions: Article 23 (Prohibition of traffic in human beings and forced labour) and Article 24 (Prohibition of employment of children in factories, etc.). Option (a) is the most tempting wrong choice, but it is incorrect because the abolition of untouchability (Article 17) falls under the 'Right to Equality,' not the Right against Exploitation. This question tests the precise classification of Fundamental Rights as grouped under Part III of the Indian Constitution.
