Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Before 2015 the Supreme Court had traced the right to privacy to "Article 21", notably in R. Rajagopal v. State of Tamil Nadu (1994), which held that the right to be let alone is implicit in the right to life and personal liberty. Articles 14, 19 and 22 deal with equality, specific freedoms and protection against arrest and detention, and were not the source identified. In K.S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India (2017) a nine-Judge Bench confirmed privacy as a fundamental right rooted mainly in Article 21.
