Correct answer: D

Concept

Fundamental Rights in Part III are judicially enforceable guarantees that limit State power and protect liberty and equality.

Article 13 subjects legislation to the Constitution, while several rights permit carefully defined restrictions for public interests; the design therefore combines constitutional supremacy, legislative authority and ordered liberty.

Application

  • Constitutional supremacy and legislative authority: Article 13 makes a law void to the extent that it is inconsistent with Fundamental Rights, while the legislature remains free to enact laws within constitutional limits.

  • Rights and national security: freedoms such as those in Article 19 coexist with enumerated grounds for reasonable restrictions, including the sovereignty and integrity of India, security of the State and public order.

  • Equality: Articles 14–18 guarantee equality before law, prohibit specified discrimination and abolish untouchability and titles; these provisions address legal status and social exclusion within the broader constitutional commitment to equality.

Cross-check / Contrast

  • The constitutional-supremacy statement and the rights–security statement each follow directly from the structure of Part III; the equality statement also reflects the equality code and its social purpose.

  • “More than one of the above” represents a count of at least two supported substantive statements, whereas “None of the above” represents a count of zero.

Result

At least two—and, in the accepted exam interpretation, all three—substantive statements describe recognized features or purposes of Fundamental Rights. The applicable aggregate response is “More than one of the above.”
