D.
61st Amendment
Correct Answer:
A. 42nd Amendment
Explanation:
The Fundamental Duties were incorporated into the Indian Constitution through the 42nd Amendment Act in 1976. This addition was made based on the recommendations of the Swaran Singh Committee to emphasize the obligations of citizens alongside their rights. These duties are listed under Article 51A in Part IVA. Initially, ten duties were introduced, and an eleventh duty regarding education for children aged six to fourteen was later added by the 86th Amendment Act in 2002. Unlike Fundamental Rights, these duties are non-justiciable, meaning they cannot be enforced directly by a court of law unless supported by specific legislative enactments.
