Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A - Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A)

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A). On 9 December 1948, during the Constituent Assembly debate on draft Article 25 (now Article 32), Dr. B.R. Ambedkar described the provision as the very soul of the Constitution and the very heart of it because Article 32 guarantees an effective constitutional remedy—empowering citizens to move the Supreme Court directly for writs enforcing Fundamental Rights—without which the rights declared in Part III would be meaningless.
