Correct Answer:
C. Part IVA
Explanation:
Part IVA of the Constitution of India contains Article 51A, which enumerates the Fundamental Duties of its citizens. These duties were not part of the original 1950 Constitution but were introduced by the 42nd Amendment Act in 1976 based on the Swaran Singh Committee's recommendations. Initially, there were ten duties, but an eleventh was added by the 86th Amendment Act in 2002 regarding education for children. While Parts III and IV of the Constitution deal with Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles respectively, Part IVA serves as a moral and civic code to remind citizens of their responsibilities toward the nation.
