Fundamental Duties

In the context of India, which one of the following is the correct relationship between Rights and Duties?

C.Rights, not Duties, are important for the advancement of the personality of the citizen.
D.Duties, not Rights, are important for the stability of the State.
A.Rights are correlative with Duties.
B.Rights are personal and hence independent of society and Duties.

Correct Answer: Option A

Rights and duties are correlative and inseparable; they go hand in hand.

The enjoyment of a right by one individual is contingent upon others fulfilling their duties. For instance, the Right to a clean environment can only be effectively exercised if others fulfill their duty to protect and conserve the environment.

Therefore, Rights are correlative with Duties.

Hence, option A is correct.
