Select the correct answer using the code given below.

General KnowledgeIndian Polity and Governance

A1 and 2 only
B2 and 3 only
C1 only
D1, 2 and 3

Explanation

The keyed answer is 1 and 2 only. The Preamble's promise of liberty of thought and expression is realized through the fundamental rights read together with the Directive Principles and the Fundamental Duties, which frame and condition the exercise of rights. The Right to Equality (Articles 14–18) is a parallel, independent guarantee rather than a limitation on expression, so statement 3 is excluded per the official key. (Strictly, the specific reasonable restrictions on Article 19(1)(a) are listed in Article 19(2).)
