Question

Which right does not automatically terminate upon the death of a natural person?

• A. Right to own property
• B. Right to sue
• C. Right to reputation
• D. Right to vote

Hint:

Among fundamental and legal rights, only a few—like reputation—extend beyond death. Useful in polity/legal reasoning questions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understand the Nature of Each Right 
Right to own property ends as the property gets transferred to legal heirs. Right to sue ends as the person is no longer alive to bring legal action. Right to vote is a statutory right which ends upon death. Right to reputation is protected even after death—defamation of a deceased person is still actionable under law. 
Step 2: Legal Principle 
Indian courts have upheld that the reputation of a deceased person can be defended by family members under defamation law. 
Step 3: Conclusion 
Hence, the Right to reputation continues even after a person’s death.
