The correct answer is option 1 i.e. IV A.
In 1976, Fundamental Duties were added to the Indian Constitution under Part IV-A through the 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act. These duties are listed in Article 51A and were introduced to remind citizens of their responsibilities toward the nation. Initially, ten duties were included, and an eleventh was added later in 2002. These duties emphasise values such as respecting the Constitution, promoting harmony, protecting the environment, and preserving India’s heritage, contributing to responsible citizenship and national unity.
