In which year Fundamental Duties were incorporated in our Constitution?

Correct option is D

The Correct Answer is In 1976
Fundamental Duties were added to the Indian Constitution by the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act, which was enacted in the year 1976 during the Emergency period under the leadership of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
These duties are mentioned under Article 51A of the Constitution and are a part of Part IV-A. This part was not originally present in the Constitution framed by the Constituent Assembly between 1947 and 1949.
The 42nd Amendment was a significant constitutional reform that aimed to promote a sense of civic responsibility among Indian citizens. Initially, 10 Fundamental Duties were added, and later one more was added in 2002 (by the 86th Amendment), making the total 11 Fundamental Duties.
