Explanation:

- Article 15 (2):

- Correct Answer: Article 15 (2) of the Indian Constitution prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth. It specifically states that no citizen shall, on these grounds, be denied access to shops, public restaurants, hotels, and places of public entertainment; or the use of wells, tanks, bathing ghats, roads, and places of public resort maintained by State funds. Therefore, this article grants citizens the right to use any public place or road without facing discrimination.

- Article 17(1):

- Article 17 abolishes "untouchability" and forbids its practice in any form. It doesn't directly deal with the usage of public places.

- Article 14 (2):

- Article 14 ensures equality before the law, but it doesn't address the use of public places specifically.

- Article 16 (1):

- Article 16 guarantees equality of opportunity in public employment, not the right to use public places.
