(B) Australia

Explanation

• The framers of the Indian Constitution borrowed the idea of freedom of trade, commerce, and intercourse from the Australian Constitution.

• Specifically, Section 92 of the Australian Constitution provides that “trade, commerce, and intercourse among the States shall be absolutely free.”

• This principle was adapted into Part XIII of the Indian Constitution (Articles 301–307), which ensures that trade and commerce throughout the territory of India shall be free, subject to certain reasonable restrictions by Parliament.
