Article 16(2) lists the exact prohibited grounds of discrimination in public employment: religion, race, caste, sex, descent, place of birth, and residence. The key trap in the options is 'age' — age is NOT listed in Article 16(2). The state CAN prescribe age requirements for employment without violating this provision.

1 Pick up Constitution.
2 Go to Article 16(2).
3 Read the exact list: 'religion, race, caste, sex, descent, place of birth, residence or any of them.'
4 Verify: 'age' is NOT in this list. Option A correctly states the actual grounds.
