The correct answer is Option (4) → (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
All four articles are Fundamental Rights in Part III of the Constitution: Articles 14-18 cover the right to equality and Articles 19-22 the right to freedom.
(A) Article 19 — this matches (II) Freedom to move freely throughout the territory of India. Article 19(1)(d) gives every citizen the freedom of movement, one of the six freedoms of Article 19.
(B) Article 22 — this matches (I) Person who is arrested shall not be detained in custody without being informed of the grounds of such arrest. Article 22 gives protection against arrest and detention: an arrested person must be told the grounds, may consult a lawyer and must be produced before a magistrate within 24 hours.
(C) Article 20 — this matches (IV) Prohibits compulsion to give self-incriminating evidence. Article 20(3) says no person accused of an offence shall be compelled to be a witness against himself; Article 20 also bars punishment under a later law and punishment twice for the same offence.
(D) Article 16 — this matches (III) Equality of opportunity in matters of public employment. Article 16 gives all citizens equal opportunity in government jobs and allows reservation for backward classes.
