{'exploitation': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'labour': [6, 0, 8, 23], 'employment': [0, 4, 2, 24], 'minorities': [5, 1, 3, 18], 'factories': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'interests': [1, 1, 2, 4]}

The "Right against Exploitation" in the Constitution of India is detailed in articles 23 and 24.

Option 1: The prohibition of traffic in human beings and forced labour is indeed protected by the Right against Exploitation.

Option 2: The abolition of untouchability, however, is not covered under Right against Exploitation. It is instead covered under Article 17 under Right to Equality, so this option is incorrect.

Option 3: The Protection of interests of minorities does not fall under the Right against Exploitation. Rather it falls under the Right to Equality and Cultural and Educational Rights, hence this option is incorrect.

Option 4: Prohibition of employment of children in factories and mines is covered under the Right against Exploitation as mentioned in article 24.

So, the statement `1 and 4 only` covers all protections given by the Right Against Exploitation under the constitution of India. This makes option 3 the correct answer.
