The correct option is D crime
Untouchability is the heinous practice of prohibiting Dalits from touching other people and places of public utilities like water tanks, school benches, et cetera. Article 17 of the Constitution of India abolishes the practice by declaring it as illegal, unconstitutional and a crime.
