If an officer says Fundamental Rights will be available only according to administrative convenience, what is the correct constitutional response?

Fundamental Rights are constitutional claims that cannot be reduced to administrative convenience

Correct answer: A. Fundamental Rights are guaranteed by the Constitution, so their protection does not depend on whether an officer finds it convenient to follow them. First, the Constitution is the supreme legal framework for government action. Second, Fundamental Rights place duties and limits on the state, including its officers. An officer may regulate a lawful procedure, but cannot cancel, postpone, or deny a constitutional right merely for administrative ease. If a right is violated, the affected person can seek legal protection through the courts under the constitutional system. A is correct because it describes rights as enforceable constitutional claims. B is wrong because an officer does not create or own a Fundamental Right. C is wrong because administration must act under the Constitution, not above it. D is wrong because constitutional remedies and judicial review may be available. Memory cue: convenience cannot defeat the Constitution; lawful procedure may regulate action, but it cannot erase a right.
