A law compels Aadil to give a blood sample for a medical test he has not agreed to. Which dimension of privacy, as listed by Justice D.Y. Chandrachud in Puttaswamy, is most directly engaged?
Show answer and explanation
Answer: D. Bodily privacy

Bodily privacy protects the body against unwanted intrusion, such as forced medical tests and the compelled collection of blood samples or fingerprints. Spatial privacy is the tempting wrong option, but it protects places, above all the home, not the body.
