Fundamental Duties of the citizens of India are enumerated in

Part-1 of the Constitution
Part II of the Constitution

Part IV A of the Constitution

The correct answer is (d).

Fundamental Duties are the moral obligations of all citizens of India towards the nation. They are enumerated in Part IV-A of the Constitution of India. These duties were added to the Constitution in 1976 through the 42nd Amendment.

The Fundamental Duties are as follows:

  1. To abide by the Constitution and respect its ideals and institutions, the National Flag and the National Anthem.
  2. To cherish and follow the noble ideals which inspired our national struggle for freedom.
  3. To uphold and protect the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India.
  4. To defend the country and render national service when called upon to do so.
  5. To promote harmony and the spirit of common brotherhood amongst all the people of India transcending religious, linguistic and regional or sectional diversities; to renounce practices derogatory to the dignity of women; and to value and preserve the rich heritage of our composite culture.
  6. To protect and improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wild life, and to have compassion for living creatures.
  7. To develop scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform.
  8. To safeguard public property and to abjure violence.
  9. To strive towards excellence in all spheres of individual and collective activity so that the nation constantly rises to higher levels of endeavour and achievement.
  10. To provide opportunities for education and to promote adult education.

The Fundamental Duties are not enforceable by any court, but the State shall take steps to promote public awareness of these duties.
