{'fundamental right': [9, 0, 2, 4], 'personal liberty': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'human dignity': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'citizens': [9, 2, 9, 40], 'protection': [8, 1, 6, 26], 'law': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13]}

The Fundamental Right to Life and Personal Liberty, guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution of India, has certain characteristics.

Option 1 states that the right is available to citizens as well as aliens. This is true because Article 21 does not differentiate between citizens and aliens when it comes to the right to life and personal liberty.

Option 2 states that the right covers protection against arbitrary executive and legislative action. This is also true as Article 21 protects individuals from any arbitrary action by the executive or legislative authorities.

Option 3 states that the right includes the right to live with human dignity. This is true as the Supreme Court of India has interpreted Article 21 to include the right to live with human dignity.

Option 4 states that the right can be taken away according to the procedure established by law. This is true as Article 21 allows for the deprivation of life and personal liberty but only through a procedure established by law.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.
