Explanation

The Right to Freedom of Faith is part of the Right to Freedom of Religion, which is explicitly guaranteed as a Fundamental Right in the Constitution of India.
This right is enshrined in Articles 25 to 28.
Article 25 specifically grants all persons the freedom of conscience and the right to freely profess, practice, and propagate religion, which encompasses freedom of faith.

Option A: The Right of Housing is not explicitly listed as a Fundamental Right in the text of the Constitution.
Option B: The Right of Health is not a standalone, explicitly listed Fundamental Right.
Option C: The Right to Livelihood is not explicitly enumerated as a Fundamental Right.

Clinical Relevance

Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Identification of explicitly listed Fundamental Rights in the Indian Constitution as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
While this is a general knowledge question, awareness of fundamental rights is crucial for every citizen, including healthcare professionals.
Understanding rights fosters a sense of justice and empowers individuals. For a nurse, this parallels the critical need to understand and advocate for Patient Rights within the healthcare system.
What if the question was about Directive Principles of State Policy? Then, options like 'Right of Health' and 'Right to Livelihood' would be more relevant, as these are goals the state is directed to achieve.

How to Approach the Question

First, identify the core concept of the question, which is 'Fundamental Right' as per the Indian Constitution.
Recall the six major categories of Fundamental Rights.
Evaluate each option to see if it fits directly into one of these categories.
Recognize that 'Right to Freedom of Faith' is a core component of the 'Right to Freedom of Religion' (Articles 25-28).
Differentiate between explicitly listed rights and those that are derived through judicial interpretation (like aspects of Article 21) or are mentioned in other parts of the Constitution (like Directive Principles). This distinction is key to answering correctly.
