The correct option, “1, 2 and 4 only,” accurately reflects the main features of the "Rule of Law." Limitation of Powers ensures that governmental authority is confined within legal boundaries, preventing any arbitrary exercise of power. Equality before law establishes that all individuals, regardless of status, are subject to the same legal standards, promoting fairness and justice. Additionally, liberty and civil rights are fundamental to the Rule of Law, as they guarantee individual freedoms and protect citizens from state oppression. In contrast, "People’s responsibility to the Government" is more of a societal expectation than a core principle of the Rule of Law. This understanding aligns with the principles outlined in Indian Constitutional Law and various governance concepts discussed in standard UPSC-level references.
