The Fundamental Duty listed in Article 51A(i) is “to safeguard public property and to abjure violence,” not to safeguard all property (which would include private property).

– Fundamental Duties are enshrined in Part IVA of the Constitution under Article 51A.
– Option A is a Fundamental Duty (51A(a)).
– Option B is a Fundamental Duty (51A(d)).
– Option D is a Fundamental Duty (51A(k), added by 86th Amendment).
– Option C is incorrect because it refers to safeguarding “all property” instead of specifically “public property”.

Fundamental Duties were added to the Constitution by the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976, based on the recommendations of the Swaran Singh Committee. They are not legally enforceable in the same way as Fundamental Rights but guide citizens’ conduct and the state’s actions.
