Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

Under Part III of the Constitution of India, the Right to Education is a fundamental right under Article 21A, inserted by the 86th Amendment Act, 2002 [1][2][4]. The right of minorities to establish and administer educational institutions is guaranteed under Article 30 [2]. The right against untouchability is provided under Article 17 [2][3]. However, Article 18 specifically mandates the 'Abolition of Titles' [2][3]. It prohibits the State from conferring any titles (except military or academic distinctions) and prohibits citizens from accepting titles from foreign states [3][4]. Therefore, while the Constitution provides for the abolition of titles to ensure equality, there is no 'Right to be conferred with titles'; in fact, the conferment of hereditary or noble titles is strictly prohibited to maintain democratic equality.
