Which right can be most closely linked with the basic idea of human rights?

Right to equal treatment

The governing concept is equal human dignity, which is central to the idea of human rights. The right to equal treatment means that people should not face unjust discrimination and that public authorities should apply laws fairly. Thus, option A is correct. It does not require identical treatment in every situation; reasonable support may be needed to overcome genuine disadvantages, while the basic standard remains fairness and equal respect. Option B describes a consumer preference, not a universal human right. Option C is wrong because freedoms operate within lawful limits and must respect the rights of others. Option D directly contradicts human-rights principles because one person’s liberty cannot include an unrestricted power to injure another person.
