Correct Answer: A) Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic and Republic

Explanation:
The Preamble of the Constitution of India begins with the phrase “We, the People of India...” and declares India to be a Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic, Republic. These terms highlight the key ideals and principles upon which the Indian Constitution is based:

  1. Sovereign: India is an independent authority, not subject to any external control.
  2. Socialist: Emphasizes social and economic equality to reduce wealth disparities.
  3. Secular: India has no official state religion, ensuring religious freedom for all citizens.
  4. Democratic: The government is elected by the people, for the people, and accountable to the people.
  5. Republic: The head of the state is an elected representative, not a hereditary monarch.

The correct sequence as per the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976, which introduced "Socialist" and "Secular" into the Preamble, is Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic, and Republic.
