If a religious minority is stopped from running its educational institution only because of its identity, which right is most clearly affected?

Correct answer: Cultural and Educational Rights

The correct answer is D: Cultural and Educational Rights. In India, religious and linguistic minorities have constitutional protection for preserving their language, script, and culture, and they have the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice, subject to lawful regulation. The facts contain two important clues: “religious minority” and “educational institution.” Together they point most directly to this group of rights. Option A is broader and may include several freedoms, but it is not the most specific answer. Option B could arise if the action is discriminatory, but the question asks for the clearest and most specific right connected with a minority’s educational institution. Option C is unrelated because there is no forced labour, trafficking, or similar exploitation. Memory cue: minority plus school or college usually signals Cultural and Educational Rights.
