Correct Answer:
B. Emergency
Fundamental Rights are essential for individual liberty but are not absolute. They can be suspended during an Emergency, such as a national emergency, to safeguard national security or public order. This constitutional provision allows the state to temporarily restrict certain rights under extraordinary circumstances.
- Constitutional amendment changes the constitution permanently, it does not suspend rights temporarily.
- A Judicial order interprets and enforces rights, it does not broadly suspend them.
- A Referendum is a public vote on a specific issue, not a mechanism for suspending fundamental rights during a crisis.
