Solution

The correct option is B
1 and 2 only
Explanation:

Statement 1 is correct:
Article 17 abolishes ‘untouchability and forbids its practice in any form. The term ‘untouchability’ has not been defined either in the Constitution or in the Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955.

Statement 2 is correct: Right against untouchability under Article 17 is an absolute right, as there are no exceptions to this provision.

Statement 3 is incorrect: Article 17 is not self-executory, as the enactment of a law is required for its enforcement. Thus, the Protection of Civil Rights Act, 1955 was enacted by the parliament.
