The correct answer is: A. Sardar Swaran Singh Committee

The Sardar Swaran Singh Committee was a committee set up by the Government of India in 1976 to review the Constitution of India. The committee recommended the inclusion of a separate chapter on fundamental duties in the Constitution. The fundamental duties are a set of obligations that are expected of all citizens of India. They are listed in Part IV-A of the Constitution.

The Ram Nandan Committee was a committee set up by the Government of India in 1977 to review the implementation of the recommendations of the Sardar Swaran Singh Committee. The committee did not recommend any changes to the fundamental duties.

The Mondal Committee was a committee set up by the Government of India in 1998 to review the Constitution of India. The committee did not recommend any changes to the fundamental duties.

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 wildlife 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 important because they help to promote a sense of national unity and integration. They also help to protect the environment and to promote scientific temper and humanism. The fundamental duties are a set of obligations that are expected of all citizens of India. They are a reminder of the values that should guide our lives and the actions that we should take to make India a better country.
