Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. to safeguard public property and to abjure violence.

  • Article 51A (i) of the Indian Constitution is related to safeguarding public property and abjuring violence. It is part of the Fundamental Duties of citizens, which were added by the 42nd Amendment Act of 1976.
  • The specific provision reads: 'It shall be the duty of every citizen of India— (i) to abide by the Constitution and respect its ideals and institutions, the National Flag and the National Anthem;'
  • While Article 51A generally outlines the duties of citizens, the specific provision related to safeguarding public property and renouncing violence is part of the broader commitment to national integrity and respect for public resources.
