Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The Constitution of India vests the power to reorganize states exclusively in the Parliament. Under Article 3, Parliament may by law form a new state, increase or diminish the area of any state, and alter the boundaries or the name of any state [t1][t2][t8]. While the President must refer the proposal to the concerned State Legislature for its views, the Parliament is not bound by those views and can proceed independently [t2][t4]. Therefore, the 'Power of State' to alter its own name is incorrect as this authority lies with Parliament. Regarding Fundamental Rights, Article 14 (Equality before the law) applies to all persons, including citizens and non-citizens [t7]. Article 16 (Equality of opportunity in public employment) is a specific right guaranteed only to Indian citizens. Thus, option 2 is the only incorrectly matched pair.
