C. 2 only
Statement 1 is incorrect. The Right to work is a Directive Principle of State Policy under Article 41 of the Constitution of India, not a Fundamental Right. Statement 2 is correct. The Right to privacy is recognized as a Fundamental Right under Article 21 (Right to Life and Personal Liberty) following the Supreme Court's landmark judgment in the K.S. Puttaswamy case. Statement 3 is incorrect. The Right to Education under Article 21A provides for free and compulsory education to all children in the age group of six to fourteen years, not six to eighteen years. Therefore, only statement 2 represents a Fundamental Right. Answer: 2 only
