{'indian constitution': [102, 1, 17, 18], 'untouchability': [0, 0, 0, 3], 'following article': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'article': [54, 1, 15, 30]}

The correct answer is option 3, Article 17. Article 17 of the Indian Constitution abolishes untouchability.

Let`s briefly look at the other options to understand why they are not the correct answer. Option 1, Article 14, guarantees equality before the law, but it does not specifically address untouchability. Option 2, Article 18, abolishes titles but is unrelated to untouchability. Option 4, Article 19, guarantees certain freedoms such as freedom of speech, but it does not specifically address untouchability either.

Therefore, Article 17 is the correct option as it specifically deals with the abolition of untouchability in India.
