I feel like the answer might be related to how the UID could be used to discriminate, which makes me lean towards D, but I could be wrong.

I vaguely recall that the court emphasized the right to privacy, but I can't remember if it was linked to government services or something else.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think it had to do with the misuse of data. Maybe it was option D?

I think the ruling was about privacy concerns, but I'm not sure if it was specifically about discrimination against minorities.

I've got a strategy - I'll start by eliminating the options that don't seem relevant, then focus in on the most likely answer.

Wait, is the answer 'All of the above'? The court really didn't want the government to use this ID for anything, did they?

Haha, imagine if the court ruled that the ID had to be restricted to just the residents. That would be so weird, like only some people get to be officially recognized.
