Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. yet

  • The sentence contrasts the Supreme Court’s recognition of privacy as a fundamental right with the shortcomings in Parliament’s actions regarding this issue. The word needed here should introduce a contrast or a counterpoint.

  • "Yet" introduces a contrast or unexpected outcome. It effectively shows that despite the Supreme Court’s recognition of privacy, Parliament’s efforts are lacking. This contrast aligns well with the context of highlighting a discrepancy or shortfall.
