Solution

The correct option is A Claims of a person over other fellow beings, society and the government.
Rights are legal and moral entitlements or claims of a person over other fellow beings, over society and over the government. A claim cannot become a right unless it is recognized by society. Claims that are recognized by society as rightful form the basis of rights. With changing times, the scope and meaning of rights also changes. Claims need to be reasonable, recognized by society and sanctioned by law. Rights are the basic requirement to sustain a democracy.
