Per NCERT, what is the relationship between CITIZENSHIP and NATIONALITY?

ANationality and citizenship are unrelated concepts with no overlap
BCitizenship implies no rights — only obligations to the state
CNationality matters only outside one's home country and citizenship only inside it
DNationality is the legal recognition of belonging to a state; citizenship adds rights + duties within that state's political community — closely related but distinguishable
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Nationality is the legal recognition of belonging to a state; citizenship adds rights + duties within that state's political community — closely related but distinguishable
NCERT treats nationality + citizenship as overlapping but with citizenship carrying the rights-and-duties package. The other options misstate the link.
