What does security mean in human rights?

Protecting a person from violence and fear

In human rights, security means protection of a person from threats that endanger life, bodily safety, liberty, or dignity. It includes protection from violence, intimidation, abuse, and other serious harm, while also requiring lawful and accountable action by authorities. Therefore option A is correct because it describes safety from violence and fear. Threatening a person creates insecurity, insulting a person attacks dignity, and preventing education interferes with development and another important right; none of these is the meaning of security. The concept should not be reduced merely to police or military protection. Human-rights security is broader: people should be able to live without fear and should have institutions capable of responding when their safety is threatened.
