Answer: B

Notes:

Explanation:

Rights are entitlements or claims that individuals can lawfully demand from the State, and they are protected by legal provisions.
In democratic societies, fundamental rights are enshrined in the Constitution and can be enforced through the judiciary. If these rights are violated, individuals can seek legal remedies.
Rights are not absolute; they can be restricted in the interest of public order, morality, security, etc.
Rights are not mere privileges granted by the government; they are inherent and legally enforceable.

Some rights may have moral significance, they require legal backing to be effectively protected and enforced
