Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 1, 2 and 4 only

1, 2, and 4 only are incorrectly matched.

• Article 14: The State shall not deny to any person equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws within the territory of India, on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth. Hence 1 is  incorrectly matched
• Article 15: The State shall not discriminate against any citizen on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth, or any of them. Hence 2 is  incorrectly matched
• Article 16: There shall be equality of opportunity for all citizens in matters relating to employment or appointment to any office under the State. Hence 3 is  correctly matched
• Article 17: Abolition of untouchability. Hence 4 is  incorrectly matched
• Article 18:  Abolition of all titles except military and academic titles.

• Fundamental rights are the rights that are essential for the survival of people with dignity.
