Result

Your answer: — · Correct: C

Explanation

The statement that the Right to Property is not part of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is incorrect. Article 17 of the UDHR explicitly states that 'Everyone has the right to own property alone as well as in association with others' and 'No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property' [1]. The UN General Assembly adopted the UDHR on 10th December 1948 [2]. India was one of the original signatories to the declaration [6]. Furthermore, many provisions of the Fundamental Rights in the Indian Constitution, such as the rights to life, liberty, and equality, are closely aligned with the principles enshrined in the UDHR [5]. While the Right to Property was removed from the list of Fundamental Rights in India by the 44th Amendment Act of 1978, it remains a recognized human right under the international UDHR framework.
