Answers (1)
The Supreme Court emphasised the significance of the right to a healthy and pollution-free environment in the M.C. Mehta v. Union of India case, often known as the Oleum Gas Leak case. It was decided that this right is essential to the freedom to live one's life as one chooses, which is guaranteed by Article 21 of the Constitution. The idea of absolute liability was also put out, which holds businesses accountable for damages caused by risky actions regardless of whether carelessness was present or not. hence option c is correct.
