Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A The government can abolish them any time.
B A minority group can be denied the right to vote.
C They support gender discrimination.

Rights are necessary to protect the minority from oppression of the majority. Individual rights are also important. The Indian Constitution lists Fundamental Rights. The Supreme Court has declared that no government can remove certain basic features of the Indian Constitution. So, no government can abolish Fundamental Rights of citizens arbitrarily.
