Solution

The correct option is D Right to Life and Personal liberty
In Subhash Kumar Vs State of Bihar, the Supreme Court held that the right to life is a fundamental right under article 21 of the constitution and it includes the right to the enjoyment of pollution-free water and air for full enjoyment of life. If anything endangers or impairs that quality of life in derogation of laws, a citizen has recourse to article 32 of the constitution for removing the pollution of water or air which may be detrimental to the quality of life.
