Correct answer: A. Press freedom is a form of freedom of expression
Explanation: The direct answer is option A. Freedom of expression is the right to communicate ideas, opinions, information and criticism. The press is a means through which people, journalists and organisations communicate these ideas to the public. The Constitution does not create a separate fundamental right called press freedom; instead, press freedom is understood as part of freedom of speech and expression under Article 19(1)(a). This freedom is not unlimited: reasonable restrictions may apply for security, public order, defamation and other constitutional reasons. Option A is correct because it gives the constitutional relationship. Option B is wrong because a free press may expose exploitation, but press freedom itself is not exploitation. Option C is wrong because press freedom is related to democratic equality and public debate, even though it is not identical to the Right to Equality. Option D is wrong because the press may be a business, but its constitutional protection concerns expression, not merely profit. Memory cue: press is a channel for expression.
