Consider the following statements regarding rights and choose the incorrect ones.
- 1. They are recognised by society.
- 2. Rights are conditional upon the performance of duties and obligations.
- 3. They are essential only for the individual.
- 4. No restrictions can be placed on the exercise of rights.
A1 and 2 only
B3 and 4 only ✓ Correct
C1, 2 and 3 only
D1, 2, 3 and 4
Correct answer: (B) 3 and 4 only — Statements 3 and 4 are incorrect, so the answer is 3 and 4 only.
Explanation
★Statements 3 and 4 are incorrect, so the answer is 3 and 4 only.
★Statement 3 is wrong because rights serve social development, not only the individual.
★Rights enable people to contribute to and benefit the wider community.
★Statement 4 is wrong because reasonable restrictions can be placed on rights.
★Rights may be limited for public order, morality and the greater interest of society.
★Statements 1 and 2 are correct, since rights are socially recognised and tied to duties.
★Thus the two false claims concern individual-only purpose and unlimited exercise.
