Comprehension Passage

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow:

Privacy of the individual is an essential aspect of dignity. Dignity has both an intrinsic and instrumental value. As an intrinsic value, human dignity is an entitlement or a constitutionally protected interest in itself. In its instrumental facet, dignity and freedom are inseperably inter-twined, each being a facilitative tool to achieve the other. The ability of the individual to protect a zone of privacy enables the realisation of the full value of life and liberty. Liberty has a broader meaning of which privacy is a subset. All liberties may not be exercised in privacy. Yet others can be fulfilled only within a private space. Privacy enables the individual to retain the autonomy of the body and mind. The autonomy of the individual is the ability to make decisions on vital matters of concern to life. Privacy has not been couched as an independent fundamental right. But that does not detract from the constitutional protection afforded to it, once the true nature of privacy and its relationship with those fundamental rights which are expressly protected is understood. Privacy lies across the spectrum of protected freedoms.

Which one of the following statement is correct? 

1
Right to privacy is expressly provided as a fundamental right under the Constitution
2
Right to privacy is protected as a fundamental right under Article 21 of the constitution 
3
Right to privacy is not protected as a fundamental right under Article 21of the constitution
4
Article 21 of the constitution protects the life and personal liberty only from executive action
