For More Understanding

Explanation

Option (c) is correct because the textbook explicitly states that 'Fundamental Rights are protected and guaranteed by the constitution of the country.' The Constitution lists rights that are 'specially protected' and calls them 'fundamental rights.' This distinguishes them from ordinary legal rights which are protected by ordinary law. Option (a) is incorrect as Fundamental Rights are not ALL rights an individual should have, but specifically those listed by the Constitution. Option (b) is incorrect because rights given by ordinary law are different from Fundamental Rights. Option (d) is incorrect because the context clearly states that 'fundamental rights are not absolute or unlimited rights' and that 'Government can put reasonable restrictions on the exercise of our fundamental rights.'

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Identify that Fundamental Rights are 'protected and guaranteed by the constitution' as per the context.

  2. Step 2: Eliminate option (d) since the context states fundamental rights are 'not absolute or unlimited' and can have 'reasonable restrictions.'

  3. Step 3: Eliminate option (b) as ordinary legal rights differ from Fundamental Rights which are constitutionally protected.

  4. Step 4: Eliminate option (a) as Fundamental Rights are specifically those listed by the Constitution, not all possible rights.

  5. Step 5: Conclude that option (c) best describes Fundamental Rights as rights given and protected by the Constitution.
