Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) Article 21 and the freedoms guaranteed in Part III
In the landmark K.S. Puttaswamy judgment (2017), a nine-judge bench held that the Right to Privacy is an intrinsic part of the Right to Life and Personal Liberty under Article 21, read with the freedoms in Part III of the Constitution. Hence option (c) correctly states the constitutional basis; the other options cite unrelated Articles or amendments.
