Explanation

The correct option is :

C: It means that the person shall be free to come into India and to go from India.

Explanation:

According to the immigration laws of India, the phrase "to come and go into and from" signifies that individuals covered by the Act have the right to both enter and exit India freely. This means they are free to come into India and also free to go from India without any restrictions implied by the provision. The principle of reddendosingulasingulis, which deals with interpreting complex sentences with one subject and more than one object, does not apply in this case as the provision is straightforward in granting the right of abode and freedom of movement to those to whom the Act extends.
