\nThe correct answer is It prevents the State from making a law providing for social welfare and reforms.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThis statement is incorrect. The right to freedom of religion, guaranteed under Articles 25-28 of the Constitution, is subject to certain restrictions, including public order, morality, health, and other Fundamental Rights. Furthermore, Article 25(2)(a) explicitly allows the State to make laws providing for social welfare and reform, even if they regulate activities associated with religious practice. Examples include laws prohibiting Sati, preventing child marriage, allowing entry into temples, etc.
\n<\/section>\n
\nStatements A, B, and D are correct. Article 25 grants freedom of conscience and the right freely to profess, practise and propagate religion. Article 28(1) prohibits religious instruction in any educational institution wholly maintained out of State funds. Explanation II to Article 25 clarifies that the reference to Hindus shall be construed as including a reference to persons professing the Sikh, Jaina or Buddhist religion, and the reference to Hindu religious institutions shall be construed accordingly.
