Correct:
A
Explanation
Article 20 of the Indian Constitution provides protection in respect of conviction for offences through three specific clauses:
- Ex-post Facto Law (Article 20(1)): No person shall be convicted of any offence except for violation of a law in force at the time of the commission of the act.
- Double Jeopardy (Article 20(2)): No person shall be prosecuted and punished for the same offence more than once.
- Prohibition against Self-incrimination (Article 20(3)): No person accused of any offence shall be compelled to be a witness against himself.
Prohibition Against Torture is not a part of Article 20. Although the Supreme Court has interpreted the right against torture as a fundamental right, it is derived from Article 21 (Right to Life and Personal Liberty), as seen in landmark cases like D.K. Basu v. State of West Bengal.
