Explanation:

Here’s the thing about Article 24 of the Indian Constitution:

- It flat out bans hiring children below a certain age in factories, mines, or any work considered dangerous.

- The age it sets is fourteen—so any kid under 14 can’t legally work in these environments.

- Let’s run through your options:

- Option 1: eleven—Nope, that’s too young. The law isn’t that lenient.

- Option 2: twelve—Still not it. Twelve-year-olds shouldn’t be in hazardous jobs.

- Option 3: thirteen—Close, but the cutoff’s just a year higher.

- Option 4: fourteen— This is correct. Fourteen is the legal minimum.

- So if you said fourteen, you’re spot on. That’s what Article 24 protects.
