A.They provide for equality of opportunity in matters of public employment.
B.They guarantee freedom of conscience and free profession, practice and propagation of religion.
C.They prohibit discrimination only on the grounds of religion, race and caste.✓ Correct
D.They are legally enforceable.
Explanation
Article 16 provides equality of opportunity in matters of public employment (option a correct). Article 25 guarantees freedom of conscience and the free profession, practice and propagation of religion (option b correct). Fundamental Rights are legally enforceable through writs under Article 32 (option d correct). However, Article 15 prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, SEX and PLACE OF BIRTH — not only on the grounds of religion, race and caste. Hence statement (c) is incorrect and is the answer.
