Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. the constitution of USSR.

The provision of fundamental duties in the Indian Constitution is not directly inspired by the constitution of the USSR. Instead, the idea of incorporating fundamental duties into the Indian Constitution was inspired by the Directive Principles of State Policy and the recommendations of the Swaran Singh Committee in 1976. The concept was subsequently added to the Indian Constitution by the 42nd Amendment Act, of 1976.
