Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The Government of India (GoI) argues that Aadhar is crucial for effective delivery of services like subsidies and welfare programs. However, privacy advocates have raised concerns that Aadhar violates citizens' fundamental right to privacy. The conflict lies between the individuals who benefit from Aadhar-based schemes and those who argue that Aadhar infringes on privacy. Therefore, the correct answer is (C). - Why option (C) fits: This directly relates to the debate between privacy and state surveillance through Aadhar. - Eliminations: - (A) and (B) refer to class divisions which are not the core of the Aadhar issue. - (D) does not correctly identify the stakeholders in the debate.
