Which one among the following is not a part of the fundamental Rights (Part 111) of the Constitu- tion of India ?

The Constitution of India distinguishes between Fundamental Rights (Part III) and Directive Principles of State Policy (Part IV). Option 1, the prohibition of traffic in human beings and forced labour, is a Fundamental Right under Article 23 [2]. Option 2, the prohibition of employment of children in factories, is a Fundamental Right under Article 24 [2]. Option 4, the right to practice any profession or carry on any occupation, trade, or business, is guaranteed under Article 19(1)(g) [3]. In contrast, Option 3, the participation of workers in the management of industries, is not a Fundamental Right. It was inserted as Article 43A by the 42nd Amendment Act of 1976 and is classified as a Directive Principle of State Policy under Part IV. Therefore, it is not part of the Fundamental Rights framework.
