    Under Article 21 of the Constitution (Right to Life),

    the Supreme Court has recognized which of the following as a fundamental right?
    A Right to education only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Right to life with dignity, which includes right to health, shelter, and clean environment Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Right to property Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Right to vote only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Right to marry Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Article 21 states "No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law." Through judicial interpretation in landmark cases like Maneka Gandhi v. Union of India (1978) 1 SCC 248, Kesavananda Bharati, and recent cases, the Supreme Court has expanded Article 21 to include rights to health, shelter, clean environment, privacy, and dignified life.
