Correct Answer:
B. Supreme Court
Explanation:
The Supreme Court of India is considered the guardian and protector of Fundamental Rights. Under Article 32 of the Constitution, citizens have the right to approach the Supreme Court directly if their Fundamental Rights are violated. The court has the authority to issue various writs—such as Habeas Corpus, Mandamus, Prohibition, Quo Warranto, and Certiorari—to enforce these rights and ensure they are not infringed upon by the government or any other authority. While High Courts also possess similar powers under Article 226, the Supreme Court is specifically designated as the ultimate guarantor of these constitutional protections.
