If a government suppresses basic freedoms even through a law, which importance of rights becomes clear?

They set constitutional limits even on laws

Direct answer: B is correct. In a constitutional democracy, the fact that a rule has been passed as a law does not automatically make every restriction on freedom legitimate. Rights act as standards against which laws and government actions can be judged. If a law unjustifiably suppresses a basic freedom, constitutional institutions may examine whether it violates protected rights and whether the restriction is lawful and justified. B therefore correctly shows that rights limit not only officials who implement laws but also the law-making power itself. A is unrelated: taxation may be governed by law, but easier taxation is not the significance tested here. C is wrong because rights do not generally mean stopping election campaigns; they protect lawful political participation. D is wrong because rights do not release citizens from every rule. They protect freedom within a constitutional legal order. Memory cue: in a constitutional democracy, even the government that makes a law is not above rights.
