{'sessions courts': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'fundamental rights rests': [0, 1, 0, 0], 'supreme court': [12, 1, 4, 14], 'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'high courts': [3, 0, 1, 2], 'enforcement': [3, 1, 2, 7], 'responsibility': [3, 1, 3, 5], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'district': [1, 0, 1, 1]}

The correct answer is option 1, which states that the responsibility for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights rests with the Supreme Court (1) and the High Courts (2).

Let`s dissect each option to understand why option 1 is the correct answer:

Option 1: This option correctly includes both statements 1 and 2. Fundamental Rights in India are protected and enforced by the Supreme Court through writs and by the High Courts through their jurisdiction.

Option 2: This option incorrectly states that only statement 1 is correct, which is not true. High Courts also play a significant role in enforcing Fundamental Rights in India.

Option 3: This option incorrectly states that statement 2 and statement 3 are correct, which is not true. The responsibility for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights does not rest with District and Sessions Courts, but rather with the higher judiciary.

Option 4: This option incorrectly states that all three statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct, which is not true. As discussed earlier, statement 3 is incorrect.

In conclusion, the correct answer is option 1, as it correctly identifies the responsible authorities for enforcing Fundamental Rights in India, namely the Supreme Court and the High Courts.
