What is the correct meaning of calling a right a valid claim?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It is a demand recognized by society and law
Correct answer: C. A valid claim is more than a personal wish. It is a demand that society accepts as justified and that the legal or constitutional system recognizes and protects. Because it is recognized, a person can expect others and public authorities to respect it and may seek a remedy when it is violated. This is why a right creates duties for others: one person’s right requires others, including the state, not to interfere unlawfully. Option A is wrong because a wish may have no social or legal recognition. Option B is wrong because rights are not personal gifts from rulers; they are based on law and democratic principles. Option D is wrong because rights are not limited to orders of the Election Commission. Memory cue: a right is a recognized and enforceable claim, not merely a desire.
