Option A verbatim lifted from here. Don't see any reason for it to be wrong.

@saurabher43267 Anything can happen. In 2019 answer key it varied from popular institutions such as shankarias (7 questions) and vajiram (9 questions). Compare their keys with upsc key of 2019, you will know.

Ya its according to that link but just a Google search will reveal sovereignty is not must to be considered as a state .it could be A only if upsc paper setter took it from the same source or any other which considers sovereignty as integral part of a state.

@Capedcrusader1 All institutions keys will vary at least 7-8 questions from upsc key. Remember this and check when upsc release the key in may 2022.

@kohliwag not all. reason being that the doubtful questions themselves are only 3-4 in numbers. other questions have almost gained 100% consensus. the doubtful ones are mostly s and t ones. same situation as last year. D correct or eliminate one. 7-8 questions would mean that these insttns are actually no good. which isnt the case. some reliability is there.

The funny thing is Shubra ma'am ke notes me verbatim likha h Ar-14 is not rule of law, it is just equality before law. Still in her prelims discussion video, she says that the given statement is a violation of rule of law, so the answer will be article 14. TBH I was expecting her to give a different answer but it seems answer key bnate time sab nayi theories bnane shuru kr dete hai :p 

P.S.- I marked Ar 32 as the answer.

@Capedcrusader1 consensus with whom brother? UPSC is the master of roster. In 2019 everyone came on consensus and only 2-3 were disputed. Even in 2020, at least 5-6 will vary with upsc key. Mark my words. Key of 2020 will come after ifos results next week.

@Capedcrusader1 mrunal did analysis before 2020 prelims and showed number of answers different from official. The Minimum was 3 and it was as high as 9 for vajiram iirc. For vision, it was 6. Now make your calculation even for 3 questions. 8 marks are no joke lol

There's no point in debating for the answers and making oneself feel good. Get some real trip for a night, things will be a bit more clear. :)
