D Correct answer
Explanation

Article 20 (protection in respect of conviction for offences) and Article 21 (protection of life and personal liberty) cannot be suspended even during a national emergency under Article 359. All other fundamental rights can be suspended. This is a critical safeguard against arbitrary state action even in extraordinary times. Right to equality, freedom of speech, and constitutional remedies can all be suspended during emergency.
