DRight to Privacy
Correct answer: (B) Right to Development — The Right to Development is regarded as a soft law, so it is the answer.
Explanation
★The Right to Development is regarded as a soft law, so it is the answer.
★Soft law consists of non-binding guidelines that carry persuasive force.
★Such norms influence behaviour but lack enforceable legal authority.
★Hard law, by contrast, is legally binding and imposes specific obligations.
★The Right to Development is a declared principle rather than an enforceable rule.
★It guides states and institutions without strict legal compulsion.
★So it fits the category of soft law.
