Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Concept: The Indian Constitution is organised into Parts (and Schedules), each covering a distinct theme. Part III (Articles 12 to 35) is titled ‘Fundamental Rights’ and guarantees a set of justiciable rights — most available to every person, a few (e.g. under Articles 15, 16, 19) reserved for citizens — enforceable via Article 32, which lets any person move the Supreme Court directly for their enforcement.
Application: The question asks which Part of the Constitution deals with Fundamental Rights. Since Part III is the Part exclusively dedicated to Fundamental Rights, that is the answer to this item.
Cross-check: The neighbouring Parts cover entirely different subjects, which rules them out:
Part II (Articles 5 to 11) deals with Citizenship, not with rights.
Part IV (Articles 36 to 51) contains the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP), which are non-justiciable guidelines, not enforceable rights.
Part I (Articles 1 to 4) deals with the Union and its territory.
Result: Fundamental Rights are covered by Part III of the Indian Constitution.
