Solution

The correct option is C Prohibition of discrimination on the basis of religion
Secularism forms the very foundation of our country. Freedom of religion is a fundamental right guaranteed by the constitution to all Indian citizens. The attitude of impartiality towards all religions is secured by the constitution by several provisions. It provides all individuals and communities the freedom to profess, practice, and propagate any religion, or not to follow any. It prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion. It allows religious institutions to administer and manitain institutions for charitable purposes. It also allows religious communities to own and acquire property and the freedom to payment of taxes.
