Solution

The correct option is B Right to safety
Right to be informed and right to safety are being violated in this case. It is illegal to alter the expiry date of a product. A customer must be informed about the product before making a choice. The seller has to share all the right information with the customer before the customer makes a choice. Here, he altered the expiry date, which is illegal, and thus gave a wrong information to the buyer.
By doing so, he also violated the right to safety of the customer as the consumption of expired medicine can be hazardous to the health and life of the customer.
