Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c)  All of the above

It directs the State to ensure that there is equal pay for equal work for both men and women, aiming to promote economic gender equality. •  Right to work (2): Under  Article 41, the State is directed to make effective provision for securing the right to work, within the limits of its economic capacity and development. •  Public assistance (3):  Article 41 also mandates that the State shall secure the right to public assistance in cases of  unemployment, old age, sickness, and disablement, and in other cases of undeserved want. • These principles are contained in  Part IV (Articles 36-51) of the Indian Constitution and are  non-justiciable in nature, meaning they cannot be enforced by the courts. • They serve as fundamental guidelines for the State to establish  social and economic democracy in the country.
