It is guaranteed by Article 14 of the Indian Constitution. This has been used to argue against some unfair provisions of personal laws.

Article 15 expressly forbids discrimination on a variety of grounds, including race, caste, sex, place of birth, and religion, but it mainly applies to official activities and provides exceptions for laws that are personal or customary.

The right to life and personal freedom is guaranteed by Article 21. The Supreme Court has used this right in a number of judgements to challenge and overturn certain personal law practises that it determined to be unfair or discriminatory.

Not required by Articles 14 or 15, a uniform civil code is a directive principle of state policy under Article 44. hence option C is the correct option.
