During a Proclamation of Emergency, the right to move a Court for the enforcement of all Fundamental Rights remains suspended except for Article 20 and Article 21.

Option 1 states that Article 20 and Article 21 are the two specific Fundamental Rights that can still be enforced during a Proclamation of Emergency. Article 20 provides protection against retrospective punishment for an act that was not an offense when it was committed. It ensures that no person shall be punished for an act that was not an offense at the time of the act. Article 21 deals with the protection of life and personal liberty, stating that no person shall be deprived of their life or personal liberty except according to the procedure established by law.

Option 2 incorrectly includes Article 22, which deals with protection against arrest and detention. Option 3 incorrectly includes Article 19, which deals with the protection of certain rights regarding freedom of speech, right to assemble, and right to form associations. Option 4 incorrectly includes Article 15 and Article 16, which deal with provisions for non-discrimination and equality of opportunity in public employment respectively.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.
