Option C is correct: The Right to Constitutional Remedies (Article 32), which allows a person to move the Supreme Court for enforcement of Fundamental Rights, is part of Part III (Fundamental Rights) of the Constitution.
Option D is correct: The writ jurisdiction of the High Courts (under Article 226) is wider than that of the Supreme Court (under Article 32) because High Courts can issue writs not only for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights but also for any other legal right, whereas the Supreme Court can issue writs only for the enforcement of Fundamental Rights.
