Explanation

The correct option is D: Protecting the Interests of any Scheduled Tribe.

According to Article 19 (1) (d) of the Indian Constitution, every citizen has the right to move freely throughout the territory of India. However, this right is subject to reasonable restrictions imposed by law in the interests of the general public or for the protection of the interests of any Scheduled Tribe. The entry of outsiders in tribal areas is restricted to protect the distinctive culture, language, customs and manners of scheduled tribes and to safeguard their traditional vocation and properties against exploitation. The other options are not valid grounds for restricting the right to move freely throughout the territory of India.
