The correct option is D.

In the landmark judgment of K.S. Puttaswamy (Retd.) vs Union of India (2017), the Supreme Court of India unanimously held that the Right to Privacy is a fundamental right. The Court ruled that privacy is an intrinsic part of the Right to Life and Personal Liberty guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution.

While aspects of privacy may overlap with other fundamental rights (like freedom of speech and expression under Article 19, or protection against self-incrimination under Article 20(3)), the Supreme Court’s judgment explicitly rooted the comprehensive Right to Privacy within Article 21.
