Correct Answer:

Right to safety

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (4)- Right to safety.

The consumer right reflected in the statement "The consumers should use electrical appliances which are ISI marked" is Right to safety.

This statement emphasizes the importance of using electrical appliances that are ISI marked, which is a safety standard. It aligns with the consumer's right to safety, ensuring that products they use are safe and pose minimal risks to their well-being.

Right to Safety: The consumer has a right to be protected against goods and services which are hazardous to life, health and property. For example, electrical appliances which are manufactured with substandard products or do not conform to the safety norms might cause serious injury. 

 

OTHER OPTIONS

  • Right to be informed: The consumer has a right to have complete information about the product he intends to buy including its ingredients, date of manufacture, price, quantity, directions for use, etc. It is because of this reason that the legal framework in India requires the manufactures to provide such information on the package and label of the product.
  • Right to be assured: The consumer has the freedom to access variety of products at competitive prices. This implies that the marketers should offer a wide variety of products in terms of quality, brand, prices, size, etc. and allow the consumer to make a choice from amongst these.
  • Right to Consumer Education: The consumer has a right to acquire knowledge and to be a well informed consumer throughout life. He should be aware about his rights and the reliefs available to him in case of a product or service falling short of his expectations. Many consumer organisations and some enlightened businesses are taking an active part in educating consumers in this respect..
