Explanation:

The original sentence is erroneous.

Reason: The word ‘consistent’ must be followed the preposition ‘with’ instead of ‘for’ in this context. The expression ‘consistent with’ means ‘match with’.

Hence ‘with’ should be used in place of ‘for’ to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.

Among the given choices, only option D replaces the given bold part most appropriately.

The sentence after replacement becomes:

Khurshid said that a heckler’s freedom of speech and expression would have to be consistent with the right to movement and privacy of the recipient.

Option D is hence the correct answer.
