Correct option is C

The Fundamental Duties are enshrined in Part IV-A of the Indian Constitution under Article 51A. These duties were added by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act of 1976 based on the recommendations of the Swaran Singh Committee. Initially, there were 10 Fundamental Duties, but the 86th Amendment Act of 2002 added an 11th duty, making it compulsory for parents/guardians to provide educational opportunities to their children.
Information Booster:
• Fundamental Duties are inspired by the Constitution of the former USSR (Russia).
• These duties are not legally enforceable, but courts may consider them while interpreting laws.
• Some key Fundamental Duties include respecting the national flag and anthem, protecting public property, and upholding sovereignty, unity, and integrity of India.
Additional Information:
Part V: Deals with the Union Government, including the President, Vice-President, Parliament, and Attorney General.
Part II: Covers Citizenship provisions (Articles 5-11), not Fundamental Duties.
Part VI: Relates to State Governments, including the Governor, Chief Minister, State Legislature, and High Courts.
