      A Right to propagate religion Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Right to profess religion Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Right to practice religion Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Right to commit acts like sati or human sacrifice Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Right to change one's religion Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Article 25(1) guarantees freedom of conscience and the right freely to profess, practice, and propagate religion. However, this right is subject to public order, morality, and health (Article 25(2)). The Supreme Court has held that practices like sati, honor killings, or human sacrifice cannot be protected as these violate Article 21 and public order. See Commissioner, Hindu Religious Endowments v. Lakshmindra Thirtha Swami (1954). [Citation: Article 25, Constitution of India]
