Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - Constitutional right
The Constitution (Forty-fourth Amendment) Act, 1978 removed the right to property from the Fundamental Rights and placed it in Article 300A: no person shall be deprived of property save by authority of law. It is therefore a constitutional right enforceable in the ordinary courts and the High Courts, but not a fundamental right, so it cannot be claimed directly by a petition under Article 32.
