01 Which right gives citizens the idea of equal opportunity in public employment?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Right to Equality
Explanation: Correct answer: D, the Right to Equality. Article 16 guarantees equality of opportunity for all citizens in matters of public employment under the state. This means that government jobs should not be distributed through unfair discrimination; eligible citizens should receive an equal opportunity to compete, subject to constitutionally permitted provisions. A is incorrect because Cultural and Educational Rights protect the language, script and culture of groups and support minority educational institutions. B is incorrect because Freedom of Religion protects religious belief and practice. C is incorrect because the Right against Exploitation deals with trafficking, forced labour and certain forms of child labour. D is correct because equality before law and equal opportunity in public employment are central parts of the Right to Equality. Memory cue: when a question mentions public jobs, equal opportunity or discrimination, first consider the Right to Equality.
