Which option correctly distinguishes positive rights from negative rights?

### Why this is right A positive right requires someone to provide a good or service, while a negative right protects a person against interference. The distinction concerns the kind of duty each right creates. ### The concept Education, healthcare, and social assistance are examples of positive rights because their delivery requires action or resources. Privacy, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion are examples of negative rights because others should not interfere with them. These categories can meet in one service: a health platform may expand access while collecting sensitive data that raises privacy concerns. ### The other options - **B. Positive rights require no action by anyone; negative rights always require public funding.** This reverses the basic distinction. Positive rights generally require provision, while negative rights generally require non-interference. - **C. Positive rights apply only to healthcare; negative rights apply only to speech.** The examples are not exclusive; education is positive and privacy is negative. - **D. Positive and negative rights mean the same thing.** They create different kinds of obligations. ### Terms - **Positive right**: An entitlement to receive a service or resource. - **Negative right**: A freedom from interference by others. ### Remember Positive means something must be provided; negative means something must not be interfered with.
