Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Directive Principles of State Policy.
Part IV of the Indian Constitution deals with the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSPs), which are mentioned in Articles 36 to 51. These principles guide the government in making laws and policies aimed at establishing social and economic justice, reducing inequality, and promoting the welfare of the people. They are not justiciable, meaning they cannot be enforced by courts, but they are fundamental to the governance of the country.
Other options explained:
-
State and Union Territory are covered under Part I (Articles 1–4).
-
Citizenship is discussed in Part II (Articles 5–11).
-
Fundamental Rights are provided in Part III (Articles 12–35).
Thus, Part IV emphasizes the state’s duty toward achieving a welfare state.
