Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The Constitution of India originally provided for seven Fundamental Rights, which were later reduced to six after the 44th Amendment Act of 1978 removed the Right to Property [2]. The current six categories of Fundamental Rights enshrined in Part III (Articles 12-35) are: the Right to Equality (Articles 14-18), the Right to Freedom (Articles 19-22), the Right against Exploitation (Articles 23-24), the Right to Freedom of Religion (Articles 25-28), Cultural and Educational Rights (Articles 29-30), and the Right to Constitutional Remedies (Article 32) [3]. While the Right to Information (RTI) is often considered a derivative of the freedom of speech and expression under Article 19(1)(a), it is primarily a statutory right established by the RTI Act of 2005 and is not explicitly listed as a separate Fundamental Right in the Constitution. Therefore, it is not included in the standard list of embodied Fundamental Rights.
