Fundamental Rights are not treated as mere moral advice because what are they?

Correct answer: Constitutional rights enforceable in courts

The correct answer is C: Fundamental Rights are constitutional rights that can be enforced through courts. A moral suggestion tells people what they ought to do, but it may not provide a legal remedy when someone ignores it. Fundamental Rights are written into the Constitution and bind the government. If a state action violates a Fundamental Right, the affected person can seek judicial protection under the constitutional system. Option A is wrong because election promises are political commitments and may change; they are not automatically Fundamental Rights. Option B is wrong because social customs are practices of society, not constitutional guarantees. Option D is wrong because government schemes are policy programmes and can be changed or withdrawn according to law and policy. The key word is “enforceable”: a right becomes meaningful when a person can seek a legal remedy for its violation.
