The correct answer is D.

Article 22 of the Constitution of India provides protection against arrest and detention in certain cases. Clauses (4) to (7) of Article 22 specifically deal with provisions related to preventive detention, outlining limitations on the period of detention and the procedure for review by an Advisory Board.

Article 19 deals with the right to freedom (speech, assembly, association, movement, residence, profession). Article 20 provides protection in respect of conviction for offences (ex-post facto laws, double jeopardy, self-incrimination). Article 21 guarantees the protection of life and personal liberty according to the procedure established by law. While Article 21 is broadly related to personal liberty and detention, Article 22 contains the specific constitutional framework governing both punitive and preventive detention.
