– A) Article 19(1)(a): Freedom of speech and expression. Restrictions under Article 19(2) can be imposed on grounds including public order, decency or *morality*.
– B) Article 25: Freedom of conscience and free profession, practice and propagation of religion. This right is guaranteed under Article 25(1) subject to public order, *morality*, and health, and other provisions of Part III.
– C) Article 19(1)(d): Freedom to move freely throughout the territory of India. Restrictions under Article 19(5) can be imposed in the interests of the general public or for the protection of the interests of any Scheduled Tribe. *Morality* is not listed as a ground for restriction under Article 19(5).
– D) Article 26: Freedom to manage religious affairs. This right is guaranteed subject to public order, *morality*, and health.
Therefore, Article 19(1)(d) is the right whose restriction clause (Article 19(5)) does not include ‘morality’ as a ground.
