Correct Answer:
C. Part IV-A
Explanation:
The Fundamental Duties of Indian citizens are outlined in Part IV-A of the Constitution. This specific section was not part of the original document but was incorporated in 1976 through the 42nd Amendment Act, following the suggestions of the Swaran Singh Committee. Originally consisting of ten duties, an eleventh duty regarding the education of children was later added by the 86th Amendment Act in 2002. These duties are housed under a single article, Article 51A, and serve as moral and civic obligations to promote patriotism and national unity. While Part III covers Fundamental Rights and Part IV details Directive Principles of State Policy, Part IV-A is dedicated exclusively to these citizen responsibilities.
