Reasonable Restrictions On Fundamental Rights Can Be Imposed By:

A: President
B: Prime Minister
C: Parliament
D: Supreme Court of India

The answer is: C

Explanation

Reasonable restrictions on fundamental rights can be imposed by the Parliament of India under certain circumstances, as outlined in the Constitution of India. These restrictions are intended to protect public order, decency, morality, the sovereignty and integrity of India, and the rights of others. The restrictions can be imposed on the exercise of any of the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution, with the exception of the right to equality before the law and the right to freedom of religion. The Supreme Court of India can review the validity of such restrictions and strike them down if they are found to be unconstitutional. Neither the President nor the Prime Minister has the power to impose reasonable restrictions on fundamental rights.
