The main idea is identifying which Charter section protects life, liberty and security of the person. That protection is stated plainly: everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person, and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice. This makes the section that guarantees these rights the best answer, because it directly enumerates and safeguards these fundamental personal rights and ties any deprivation to due process. The other sections address different protections—one covers protection against unreasonable search or seizure, another covers rights if detained, and another covers rights on arrest or detention—so they don’t state the core guarantee of life, liberty, and security in the same explicit way.
