Which of the following rights under the Constitution of India is/are Fundamental Right(s) ? 1. Right to work 2. Right to privacy 3. Right to free and compulsory education in the age bracket of six to eighteen years Select the answer using the code given below :

The Right to Privacy was declared a Fundamental Right by a nine-judge bench of the Supreme Court in the landmark Justice K.S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India (2017) case, establishing it as an intrinsic part of the right to life and personal liberty under Article 21 [3]. Statement 1 is incorrect because the Right to Work is a Directive Principle of State Policy under Article 41, not a Fundamental Right. Statement 3 is incorrect due to the age specification; Article 21A, inserted by the 86th Amendment Act (2002), guarantees free and compulsory education to children aged six to fourteen years, not eighteen [1]. While the Right to Education is a Fundamental Right, the age bracket provided in the question is legally inaccurate. Therefore, only the Right to Privacy (Statement 2) is a correctly identified Fundamental Right.
