C Correct answer
Explanation

Article 15 prohibits discrimination on religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth. Article 16 extends similar protections to employment. 'Residence' is NOT a prohibited ground in either article - states can and do impose residence requirements (e.g., for government jobs, educational institutions). Other options (race, caste, place of birth) ARE prohibited.
