The correct option is A

1 only
Explanation:

The freedom of movement has two dimensions:

• Internal (right to move inside the country)
• External (right to move out of the country and the right to come back to the country).

Article 19 protects only the first dimension (Internal). The second dimension (External ) is dealt with Article 21 (right to life and personal liberty).
