- Athe Right to Freedom of Religion
- Bthe Right against Exploitation
- Cthe Cultural and Educational Rights
- Dthe Right to EqualityCorrect
Explanation
The Constitution of India classifies Fundamental Rights into six broad categories. The Right to Equality comprises Articles 14 to 18. Article 15 specifically prohibits discrimination by the State against any citizen on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth. Therefore, it falls directly under the classification of the Right to Equality.
The other options represent different categories: the Right to Freedom of Religion covers Articles 25 to 28, the Right against Exploitation covers Articles 23 and 24, and Cultural and Educational Rights cover Articles 29 and 30. Since Article 15 deals with ensuring equal treatment and non-discrimination, Option D is the correct classification.
