Correct Answer:
D. Article 22
Explanation:
Article 22 of the Indian Constitution grants protection against arrest and detention in certain cases. It ensures that any person who is arrested is informed of the grounds for such arrest as soon as possible and is not denied the right to consult and be defended by a legal practitioner of their choice. Furthermore, every person arrested and detained in custody must be produced before the nearest magistrate within a period of twenty-four hours of such arrest. While Article 19 deals with the protection of certain rights regarding freedom of speech, Article 20 provides protection in respect of conviction for offences, and Article 21 guarantees the protection of life and personal liberty.
