Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

During a Proclamation of Emergency, a presidential order under Article 359 can suspend the right to move courts to enforce the specified fundamental rights. Articles 20 and 21 are expressly excluded from that suspension. This is a limited suspension of enforcement, not the abolition of every aspect of the Supreme Court's writ jurisdiction.
