  4. DRights aim at individual good devoid of social well-being

Explanation

The statement defines rights as "advantageous conditions of social well being" (social good) that are "indispensable to the true development of the citizen" (individual good). Therefore, rights inherently serve both individual and social purposes. A) Rights aim at individual good only: This is incorrect because the statement explicitly mentions "social well being." B) Rights aim at social good only: This is incorrect because the statement explicitly mentions "true development of the citizen," which is an individual aspect. C) Rights aim at both individual and social good: This is correct as it encompasses both "social well being" and "true development of the citizen" mentioned in the statement. D) Rights aim at individual good devoid of social well-being: This is incorrect as it contradicts the "social well being" part of the statement.
