Solution

The correct option is C Article 24

Child Labor is the practice of having children engage in economic activity, on a part- or full-time basis. Indian law specifically defines 64 industries as hazardous and it is a criminal offence to employ children in such hazardous industries. In 2001, an estimated 1% of all child workers, or about 120,000 children in India were in a hazardous job. Notably, the Constitution of India prohibits child labour in hazardous industries such as firecracker industries, mining sites, etc.
