  1. A2 4 1 3
  2. B3 1 4 2
  3. C2 1 4 3Correct
  4. D3 4 1 2

Explanation

The correct option is C because it accurately matches the specific Constitutional Articles with their respective provisions as follows. Article 14 corresponds to Equality before the Law. This ensures that every citizen is treated equally by the legal system regardless of status. Article 15 corresponds to Prohibition of Discrimination. This prevents the state from discriminating against any citizen on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth. Article 16 corresponds to Equality of Opportunity in Public Employment. This guarantees that all citizens have an equal chance to apply for and hold government positions. Article 17 corresponds to Abolition of Untouchability. This bans the practice of untouchability in any form and makes its practice a punishable offense. Matching these pairs gives the sequence 2 1 4 3 which aligns with Option C.
