Hint: Every human being is born with certain fundamental rights which he is entitled to for example, the right to live and the right to freedom, etc. Likewise, every citizen of every country has certain rights that are completely reasonable without prejudice to the spirit of popular brotherhood and conscience, such as the right to life, the right to liberty, the right to democracy, the right to education, the right to equality However the same rights of a person can be surrendered if the person is convicted for committing a crime. Although the arrested person still has some rights, as explained below.

Complete answer: The legal system in India is set up on the platform of "innocent to proven guilty." The unlawful arrest of an individual may constitute a violation of Article 21 of the Indian Constitution which states that no human being shall be denied his or her right to life and personal liberty except as provided for by law," which means that the procedure must be reasonable, transparent and not arbitrary or oppressive.
Option A: Article 22: it includes,
No person arrested shall be detained without being told, as soon as possible, of the grounds for such detention or shall be denied the right to consult and to be defended by a legal practitioner of his choosing.
Any person who is arrested and held in custody shall be brought before the nearest magistrate within twenty-four hours of such arrest, except the time required for the journey from the place of arrest to the magistrate's court, and no such person shall be held in custody beyond that date without the authority of the magistrate.
Nothing in clauses (1) and (2) shall apply (a) to any person who is for the time being an enemy alien; or (b) to any person who is arrested or detained under any statute providing for preventive detention;
No law providing for preventive detention shall permit the detention of a person for a longer duration of more than three months, unless a) the Advisory Board consisting of persons who are, have been or are eligible to be appointed as Judges of the High Court has, before the end of that period of three months, specified that in its opinion, there is appropriate cause for such detention.
Where a person is detained pursuant to an order made pursuant to any law providing for preventive detention, the authority making the order shall, as soon as possible, notify that person of the grounds on which the order has been made and shall, as soon as possible, allow him the opportunity to make representations against the order.
Option B : Article 52: Article 52 to 78 in Section V of the Constitution deals with the Union Executive. The union executive consists of the president, the vice president, the prime minister, the council of ministers and the Attorney General of India. The president (Article 52) is the head of the state of India.
Option C: Article 43:Article 43 of the Constitution of India deals with the issue of living wages and the generation of jobs for workers. The State shall endeavour, by effective legislation or economic organisation or in some other way, to ensure work, a living wage, working conditions ensuring a decent standard of living and the complete enjoyment of leisure and social and cultural activities for all workers, agricultural, industrial opportunities and, in particular, the State shall endeavour to promote cottage industries on an individual or co-operative basis in rural areas.
Option D: Article 67: Term of office of Vice-President. The Vice-President shall hold office within a span of five years from the date on which the Vice-President assumes office. Notwithstanding the expiry of his term, the Vice-President shall continue to hold office until his successor assumes office.

Thus, the answer is option A: Article 22

Note: The Commission's formulation of universal standards for minimum social and economic entitlements is an important move forward in international human rights law. Some of the members of the Commission wished to highlight this "new category of international human rights by including an introductory article in the section on economic, social and cultural rights of the UDHR and in the final step of the Commission's work, an umbrella article was formulated for this purpose. Article 22 therefore precedes the five subsequent articles which assert the right to work (Article 23), to rest and to leisure (Article 24), to an adequate standard of living (Article 25), to education (Article 26) and the right to participate freely in the cultural life of the Nation (Article 27).
