Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

Under the Constitution of India, Fundamental Rights are enshrined in Part III (Articles 12-35). The Right to Education is a fundamental right under Article 21A, inserted by the 86th Amendment Act [8]. The Right to form associations and the Right to practise any profession are fundamental freedoms guaranteed under Article 19(1)(c) and Article 19(1)(g) respectively [3]. However, the 'Right to work' is not a fundamental right; it is a Directive Principle of State Policy (DPSP) under Article 41, which directs the State to secure the right to work within the limits of its economic capacity. While the Constitution provides for various rights, only those in Part III are 'fundamental' in the sense of being justiciable and essential for individual development [5]. Therefore, only statement 2 is not a fundamental right.
