Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) Legal right available to any person
After the 44th Constitutional Amendment (1978) the right to property ceased to be a Fundamental Right and was relocated to Article 300A as a legal/constitutional right available to ‘any person’ (citizens and non-citizens). Therefore option (b) is correct; options (a) and (c) wrongly describe it as citizen-specific, while (d) ignores its present legal status.
