-
D.
Article 32
Correct Answer:
B. Article 21A
Explanation:
The Right to Education is established as a fundamental right under Article 21A of the Constitution of India. This provision was introduced through the 86th Constitutional Amendment Act of 2002, mandating the State to offer free and compulsory elementary education to all children between the ages of 6 and 14. To implement this right, the Parliament later enacted the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act in 2009, which became effective on April 1, 2010. While Article 19 relates to freedom of speech, Article 24 prohibits child labor, and Article 32 provides constitutional remedies, it is specifically Article 21A that guarantees the right to education.
