If a right is only declared but citizens cannot enforce it in court, why will it not have the effect of a Fundamental Right?

Because without enforcement a right remains weak in practice

Direct answer: A is correct. A right becomes meaningful when a person can use it and seek a remedy if an authority violates it. A declaration may express an important promise, but without enforceability an official could ignore that promise and the affected citizen might have no effective way to obtain protection. Judicial enforcement allows a court to examine the violation, stop unlawful action, or grant another lawful remedy. This is why enforceability is a key practical feature of Fundamental Rights. Option A correctly explains the gap between a right written on paper and a right that works in real life. Option B is wrong because courts are central to protecting enforceable rights. Option C is wrong because protection from arbitrary power is precisely why rights matter. Option D is wrong because a declaration alone may not provide a remedy. Enforcement does not mean every case automatically succeeds; it means a lawful process exists for seeking protection. Memory cue: a right without a remedy is only a promise; enforceability makes it usable.
