Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

M.C. Mehta v. Union of India, reported in AIR 2001 SC 1948, connects vehicular air pollution with the protection of life under Article 21. Pollution control therefore protects a constitutional interest in healthy living, beyond merely regulating traffic. Murli S. Deora concerns smoking in public places, whereas the question specifically concerns pollution from vehicles.
