Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Under Article 25 of the Constitution of India, the freedom of conscience and the right to freely profess, practice, and propagate religion are not absolute. They are expressly subject to public order, morality, and health. Furthermore, Article 25(2) empowers the State to make laws for social welfare and reform, as well as for the opening of Hindu religious institutions of a public character to all classes and sections of Hindus. While 'defamation or incitement to an offence' are valid grounds for restricting the freedom of speech and expression under Article 19(2), they are not specifically listed as the primary limiting conditions for the freedom of conscience under Article 25. Therefore, statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct restrictions applicable to Article 25, whereas statement 4 pertains to Article 19.
