The correct answer is option 3, which includes all three options - 1, 2, and 3.

Option 1 states that Article 17 of the Constitution of India is a constitutional provision for the protection of the rights of the Scheduled Castes. Article 17 declares the abolition of untouchability and prohibits its practice in any form. This constitutional provision ensures equal rights and dignity for the Scheduled Castes.

Option 2 refers to the Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955. This is a law enacted by the Indian government to further protect the rights of the Scheduled Castes. The Act criminalizes various practices such as untouchability, discrimination, and other atrocities against Scheduled Castes.

Option 3 mentions the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. This is another law enacted to safeguard the rights of the Scheduled Castes. The Act provides for the prevention of atrocities committed against Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes and for the punishment of those who engage in such acts.

Therefore, all three options - Article 17, the Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955, and the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act,
