The correct answer is option 1: guaranteed as a Fundamental Right. The Constitution of India guarantees the right to free education within certain limits as a Fundamental Right. This right is specifically mentioned under Article 21A of the Constitution, which was inserted through the 86th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2002. This provision ensures that every child in the age group of 6 to 14 years has the right to free and compulsory education. However, it is important to note that this right is subject to certain limitations and conditions set by the government. The provision of free education is aimed at promoting universal access to education and ensuring equal opportunities for all children.
