B. Scheduled Tribes
C. Supreme territory
D. None of these

Answer 1

Hint: These rights were taken from the American constitution and at the time when the constitution was being made, there were a total of 7 Fundamental Rights guaranteed by constitution.

Complete answer:
The word scheduled tribes was used first time in the constitution of India under Article 366. Scheduled Tribes are defined as tribes or tribal communities who are less in number and live in their own society. In 1973 the Dhebar Commission created primitive tribal groups as a separate category who are less developed among the tribal groups. They are called scheduled because they are in the schedules of the Indian Constitution .Now ,let's see the options:-

Schedules territory - There is no such word called schedules territory in our constitution hence this is correct.
 Scheduled Tribes -ST acronym is widely used to denote scheduled tribes in India hence this is correct.
Supreme territory - Supreme territory is also not a word used to denote a territory in the constitution hence this is an incorrect option.
None of these - As option (B) schedule tribes is the right answer, this is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (B) Schedule Tribes.

Note: Tribes are an important part of the Indian culture and are the microcosm of Indian tradition since ages. They have been a part of the Indian society since time immemorial and the government is taking advocate measures to ensure their safety and livelihood.
