D. Organise agriculture and animal husbandry on modern and scientific lines – Article

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. D only
Statement D is incorrectly matched. Article 45 of the Indian Constitution primarily deals with "Provision for early childhood care and education to children below the age of six years" (after the 86th Amendment Act, 2002), and originally dealt with free and compulsory education for children. The directive to "Organise agriculture and animal husbandry on modern and scientific lines" is provided under Article 48. Statements A, B, and C are correctly matched with their respective Articles (50, 40, and 39A), all falling under the Directive Principles of State Policy.
