Answer: (Detailed Solution Below)

Option C: 21

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “21”.
Article 21 of the Indian Constitution guarantees the right to life and personal liberty. The Supreme Court of India has interpreted this article broadly to include the right to travel abroad as an essential part of personal liberty.

While Article 19 deals with freedom of movement within India, it does not extend to foreign travel.
