Explanation:

- Article 16(2): This article pertains to equality of opportunity in matters of public employment and prohibits discrimination based on religion, race, caste, sex, descent, place of birth, residence, or any of them. It is not related to the use of titles.

- Article 17(2): There is no Article 17(2) in the Indian Constitution. Article 17 specifically deals with the abolition of "untouchability" and its practice in any form.

- Article 19(1): This article guarantees citizens certain freedoms such as freedom of speech and expression, but it is unrelated to the use of titles or awards.

- Article 18(1): Correct Answer. This provision prohibits the State from conferring any title, except a military or academic distinction, and thus implies that civilian awards like the Bharat Ratna should not be used as a prefix or suffix to recipients' names.

The correct answer is Article 18(1).
