Why are laws necessary for protecting human rights?

They provide a system to enforce rights

Human rights express important protections such as dignity, equality, liberty and safety. A law can turn these principles into practical duties, procedures and remedies. It may define prohibited conduct, assign responsibility to authorities, create complaint mechanisms, and allow courts or other institutions to provide relief. Laws alone are not sufficient if they are not enforced fairly, but a clear legal framework makes protection more than a moral promise.

Option A is correct because laws provide a system for enforcing rights in real situations. They do not automatically end rights; properly framed laws can protect them. The other choices are unrelated or falsely restrictive. Effective protection also depends on awareness, independent institutions and responsible implementation, but the basic reason for laws is to make rights claimable and enforceable when they are violated.
