C Correct answer
Explanation

Fundamental Rights under the Indian Constitution are restricted, not absolute. Articles 12-35 of the Constitution contain these rights, but they are subject to reasonable restrictions in the interests of public order, morality, health, and other state interests. For instance, freedom of speech (Article 19(1)(a)) can be restricted under Article 19(2). The Constitution itself provides mechanisms for restricting these rights during emergencies (Article 352, 358, 359).
