Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Right to carry on any occupation under Article 19(1)(g) and right to manage charitable institutions under Article 26

Answer 2

In the T.M.A. Pai Foundation case (2002), the Supreme Court recognized that non-minorities have the right to carry on any occupation, trade, or business under Article 19(1)(g). The Court also recognised the right to manage charitable institutions under Article 26. This judgment emphasized the rights of both minorities and non-minorities in the context of establishing and administering educational institutions.
Thus, the correct answer is d) Right to carry on any occupation under Article 19(1)(g) and right to manage charitable institutions under Article 26.
