Directions: Choose the best option.
The main object of Fundamental Rights is to ensure protection of
  1. Independence of Judiciary
  2. Individual rights absolutely
  3. Individual rights subject to reasonable restrictions
  4. Indian citizens

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C - Individual rights subject to reasonable restrictions
Fundamental Rights protect individual rights against the State, but they are not absolute: the State may impose reasonable restrictions, for example under Article 19(2) to (6) on the freedoms in Article 19(1). So their object is to protect individual rights subject to such restrictions. Judicial independence is protected by other provisions, and several Fundamental Rights extend to non-citizens too.
