Correct answer: (a) I and III
Explanation
The Fundamental Rights in Part III of the Indian Constitution—Article 19(1)(a) (freedom of speech and expression) and Article 29 (protection of the interests of minority sections)—are available only to Indian citizens; these are not available to non-citizens (foreigners). Whereas Article 14 (equality before law) and Article 21 (protection of life and personal liberty) are available to all persons, i.e., both citizens and foreigners.
