• B. Practice only the state religion.
• C. Practice any religion but its propagation is forbidden.
• D. Profess, practice, propagate any religion.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Profess, practice, propagate any religion.

Even though the Hindu population is a majority in India, they are neither given any special privileges nor discriminated. One can speak good things about their religion and invite people of other religions to convert to theirs. However, this cannot be done fraudulently - that is, people cannot be forced to change their religions. They should not be asked to make such choices through inducements or allurements. Conversion of religion is allowed only if it is voluntary.
