Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Seven.
At the time of the adoption of the Indian Constitution in 1950, there were seven fundamental rights. These rights were enshrined in Part III of the Constitution and included the right to equality, freedom of speech and expression, protection against discrimination, protection in respect of conviction for offenses, and more. However, the number of fundamental rights has since been reduced to six following the abolition of the right to property as a fundamental right through the 44th Amendment Act of 1978.
