Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Article 15 of the Constitution of India prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth [2]. Specifically, Article 15(2) mandates that no citizen shall be subject to any disability, liability, restriction, or condition regarding the use of wells, tanks, bathing ghats, roads, and places of public resort [1]. This protection applies to such facilities that are maintained wholly or partly out of State funds or are dedicated to the use of the general public [1]. While Article 14 provides for general equality before the law and Article 17 abolishes untouchability, it is Article 15 that explicitly details the right of access to these specific public amenities to prevent social discrimination [1]. This provision ensures that private and state-funded public spaces remain accessible to all citizens regardless of their background.
