Correct Answer:
B. USSR
Explanation:
The concept of Fundamental Duties was incorporated into the Indian Constitution by the 42nd Amendment Act in 1976, following the suggestions of the Swaran Singh Committee. These duties, listed under Article 51A in Part IV-A, were inspired by the Constitution of the USSR (now Russia). While the original Constitution focused on Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles, it did not initially include a list of citizen obligations. The addition of these duties aimed to remind citizens that they have social and national responsibilities to fulfill alongside enjoying their rights. Among the options provided, the USSR is the correct source for this constitutional feature.
