The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The Right to Education (RTE) is a fundamental right under Article 21A, inserted by the 86th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2002. However, its enforceability depends on the enabling legislation passed by Parliament — the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009. Without this Act, the right could not be operational.
