Equal access to public places prevents which problem?

Correct answer: Denial of entry by caste or religion

Correct answer: B, denial of entry by caste or religion. Equal access means that public places and facilities must not be closed to a person merely because of an identity such as caste or religion. Examples may include roads, shops, restaurants, public wells, and other facilities meant for public use, subject to lawful and genuinely relevant rules that apply fairly to everyone. Option A is wrong because ‘law for all’ describes a broad principle, not the specific discriminatory problem asked about. Option B is correct because caste- or religion-based denial is unequal and discriminatory access. Option C is wrong because a cleanliness drive is a public-health or maintenance activity, not the problem prevented by equal access. Option D is wrong because road construction is development work, not a form of social exclusion. Equal access does not mean that every place has no rules; it means rules cannot unjustly exclude people on prohibited grounds. Memory cue: public place plus identity-based denial equals an equality concern.
