Option B is the correct answer. Under the Indian Constitution, the directive principle related to the concentration of wealth is found in the Directive Principles of State Policy (Part IV).

Article 39(c) of the Constitution states that the State shall direct its policy towards securing “that the operation of the economic system does not result in the concentration of wealth and means of production to the common detriment”. This is a non-justiciable directive principle guiding the state.

The Right to Equality (Articles 14-18) and the Right to Freedom (Articles 19-22) are Fundamental Rights dealing with individual liberties and non-discrimination. While the concept of Welfare is related to DPSP, the specific provision addressing concentration of wealth is explicitly mentioned within the DPSP under Article 39(c).
