Solution

The correct option is C Right to consult a lawyer.
After the arrest of an individual, he/she should be taken to the nearest magistrate within 24 hours, allowing the person to plead innocence. He/She also has the right to consult a lawyer to help with his/her case. So, without proper legal justification, the arrest is invalid. The government cannot kill any individual unless the courts have awarded a death sentence under fair laws that are in force in the country.
