Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

While "Article 14", "Article 16", and "Article 18(1)" are directed against the State, "Article 15(2)" of the Constitution of India prohibits discrimination against any citizen on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth or any of them with regard to access to shops, public restaurants, hotels, and places of public entertainment, and is therefore enforceable horizontally against private individuals as well as the State.
