D Correct answer
Explanation

Article 19(5) specifically allows restrictions on the right to movement (Article 19(1)(d)) in the interest of the general public or for protecting the interests of any Scheduled Tribe. The other options (security, decency, morality) are grounds for restricting other freedoms like speech (Article 19(2)), but NOT for movement restrictions. Tribal protection is unique to movement.
